It is not possible to bring a model from the OpenStudio app into BEopt. The OpenStudio app is a general-purpose application that closely mirrors the EnergyPlus inputs and helps you create a single model. BEopt, on the other hand, is very tailored towards modeling residential buildings and helps compare many different design alternatives.
The only connection that exists is that you could technically import any of the BEopt design alternatives into the OpenStudio application, because BEopt creates OpenStudio models behind the scenes as part of running EnergyPlus simulations.

The OpenStudio app is a general-purpose application that closely mirrors the EnergyPlus inputs and helps you create a single model. model in great detail. BEopt, on the other hand, is very tailored towards modeling residential buildings using higher-level geometry and other inputs, and helps compare many different design alternatives.
