Hello, i would like to know how input begin and end date to get the number day of a time period ? I got the month and day as integer values (day -1, month -1) but have problem when convert them to date format in OS for date calculation
Take a look at the Time section on this page of the SDK documentation. For dates and time, OpenStudio has the following:
Now let's say that you want to create a date. The "tricky" part is that for the month it requires an OpenStudio::MonthOfYear:
day = 1
month = 1
year = 2010
date = OpenStudio::Date.new(OpenStudio::MonthOfYear.new(month), day, year)
@Julien Marrec Thank a lot. After those definition, may i use date1 - date 2 to get the day number between 2 date ? Have any special syntax should be consider ?
Yes. it seems to return an OpenStudio::Time (t = date1-date2), on which can call for example t.totalDays to get a float (decimal number) of the number of days.
To know this kind of stuff I usually just open a command prompt or terminal, launch ruby and require openstudio, and then I can explore and try things like this.
You should be able too yes. But there's nothing complicated to install ruby to work with openstudio though. See the beginning of this page, section Optional - Install ruby
i did it but i did not see the advantages of ruby installation when compare with notepad++ and Apply Measure Now. The main advantage is test console but i don't know much about this. Most of time the measure test is collapsed - Please give some suggest if you got a good installtiopn ruby.
