Yes, you can.

Usually, I use a script with a for-loop able to create a folder in which it puts the input tcl-files for Opensees and the executable Opensees.exe. For each step it launches Opensees with the corresponding tcl.files and it saves the output files in the same folder.

Then I have another script that enters in each folders and imports the output results as text files.
