+Sometimes we want to submit multiple jobs with a parameter that changes value. Here is how you can do that for basal friction changing from 50 to 100 by increments of 1 (as an example).
+
+We are going to use a variable in the MATLAB workspace called `friction` that will be changing within a loop. In your `runme.m` script, prepare your step with a dynamic step name:
+
 {{{
 #!m
-for N=1:20
-runme
-end
-md.settings.waitonlock = 0;
+%Do we need to submit the job or download the results?
+loadonly = 0;
+
+if perform(org,['FrictionTest_' num2str(friction) ])
+   loadmodel(org,'PreviousStepName');
+   
+   %Change friction according to friction variable
+   md.friction.coefficient = friction;
+
+   %Make sure jobs are submitted without MATLAB waiting for the results, and job name is unique
    md.settings.waitonlock = 0;
-   md.miscellaneous.name = 'NAMEforTHISstep;
+   md.miscellaneous.name = ['FrictionTest_' num2str(friction) ];
+
+  %Submit job or download results, make sure that there is no runtime name (that includes the date)
    md=solve(md,'Transient','runtimename',false,'loadonly',loadonly);
+
+   %Save model if necessary
    if  loadonly,
       savemodel(org,md);
    end
-if perform(org,['Transient_TF_+' num2str(TFextra) 'C_qsg_x' num2str(qsgmult) ])
- md.miscellaneous.name =  ['Transient_TF_+' num2str(TFextra) 'C_qsg_x' num2str(qsgmult) ];
 }}}
+
+Now, to submit jobs, set `loadonly = 0` and launch your jobs:
+
+{{{
+#!m
+for friction=50:100
+   runme;
+end
+}}}
+
+Once all the jobs are fully completed, you can set `loadonly = 1` and run the same loop, all the results will be downloaded and the model will be saved with a unique name. Good luck!
