As I understand it, you can write a program that returns
matrices, but -simulate- does not offer a way to catch
them and store them. In any case, what you appear to want
would just solve one problem by creating another.
If the pain is typing out a long specification, then just
use a loop upstream of your command to produce the part of
the command that is repetitive.
forval i = 1/99 {
local call "`call' b`i'=r(b`i')"
}
simulate ... `call' ...
