Yes it's posible. You have to make your script, that works by manually changing the parameters. Then you have to iterate over all parameters of the canvas, select the parameters that you want, change their value, and then bake geometry and export them in 3DM. This can be programmed, speaking without going into details.

I write this script and it works well

import Rhino
import time
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import os

gh = Rhino.RhinoApp.GetPlugInObject("Grasshopper")

for i in range(11):
   gh.SetSliderValue("4e69ce31-4cc2-4268-acc7-2e8c2826ec86", i)
   for j in range(11):
      gh.SetSliderValue("c731b0a2-c894-4ed0-9028-0be1cc0a2cb8", j)
      gh.RunSolver("")
      time.sleep(0.5)
      cmd = "_-SaveAs C:\GrasshopperBackup\Anello"+ "r" + str(i) + "a" + str(j) +".3dm"
      rs.Command(cmd, True)

But i must find the InstanceGuid string and i can't take from the slider the max value for optimize the loop. Any advice?

I can not help with python or RhinoScript. In case you did not know, there is a component of ghPython. Perhaps you would be more comfortable working from gh.

To find the slider there is no to use the id, look here below. It's easy to access the sliders, but I can not help you with python. Search on the forum, there are good material on it (usually in VB or C#)

in VB: Dim id As guid = rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Objects.Add(YourGeo)
