The common solution here is to wrap your model in a script that uses something like zip or tar to turn your input&output into a single file that Condor can transfer.

If you are doing this all on a single machine you should have shared disk and can probably just set an /initial_dir/ for each run, e.g. initial_dir = run1, initial_dir = run2. Condor will start your model in those dirs and you'll get run1/results/, run2/results/.
