Revision history [back]

Besides Jullien's critical note (to update the hard coded path) you have to update the idf models of the GenOpt tutorial as well to match the E+ version that you are currently running. As of now (Aug 2015) in the GenOpt download the idf files under the latest folder named 'energyplus7_0_0' need to be updated to whatever version of E+ you are running. In my case I updated those idf files from version 7 to 7.1 to 7.2 to 8 to 8.1 up to finally 8.2 and did Jullien's hard code correction as well and the simulation run smoothly.

P.S. there is no '.bat' file at the 'energyplus7_0_0' folder therefore you can copy the one from 'energyplus5_0_0' folder.

As of now (Aug 2015) in the GenOpt download the idf files under the latest folder named 'energyplus7_0_0' need to be updated to whatever version of E+ you are running. Update the idf files by using the IDFVersionUpdater which is located under the 'PreProcess' folder of your main E+ installation folder.
