Revision history [back]

OpenStudio does not create the IdfFileName.csv file containing the OutputVariables during a simulation. I've created this file after an OS sim using these two methods:

1. Run the out.idf file produced by OS through EnergyPlus (slower). The IDF can be found in:

OsmFileNameFolder\run\4-EnergyPlusPreProcess-0\

1. Run ReadVarsESO from a command line/shell/terminal (faster). This will allow you to simply enter the directory containing the ESO file type readvarseso into the prompt. To do this on a Windows machine copy the path to the ReadVarsESO.exe file to your system path. I find it's helpful to copy the contents of the PATH to a text editor for better viewing.
