“Hybrid” EnergyPlus Output Files not being generated
Hello everyone,
I am conducting a large-scale simulation on a Linux supercomputer, and for part of the simulations, the "hybrid" output files eplusout.< ext > and eplusmtr.< ext > are not being generated, even with the "EnergyPlus Complete Successfully" message displayed in the error file.
The code I am using only assigns the simulations on a list to different cores, where the next simulation is processed after the previous finishes in each core. Additionally, my simulations utilize PythonPlugin, with some overrides described in a Python script; however, I am unsure if this matters.
Has anyone faced the same issue and knows how to manage it?
Best regards.
This could be due to an issue with the input files (e.g. missing OutputControl:Files or Output:Table objects) or maybe the command you're using to execute the simulations. Can you post a link to one of your input files? And the command you're using to run the simulations?
Hello @ericmartinpe, thank you for your response. I do believe it is not an issue with the input file because of the following points: 1- I have run part of the simulations with the same IDF files on Windows, and there are no issues. 2- The simulation consists of a few IDF files; what really changes are the overrides, no complete block is affected, but random issues on the output files occur. I am modifying the job script to wait a while until these files are generated before proceeding to the next simulation. Hopefully, it will solve the issue.
What command are you using to execute the simulations? I ask because if you're not using the "-p" option to specify a prefix for the output filenames, the output files from subsequent simulations could be overwriting the outputs from previous simulations.
