Is it possible to call one measure from another? [closed]

It looks like this is not possible because requiring measure A from measure B essentially causes measure A to be run when measure B is called. Am I missing something?

I don´t know if it is possible by another measure. But perhaps you can translate this code to ruby, then you can use the measure, add some arguments etc. and run it:

OpenStudio.Path Path = new Path("YourMeasurePath");
BCLMeasure.load(Path);

or:

OpenStudio.Path Path = new Path("YourMeasurePath");
BCLMeasure measure = new BCLMeasure(Path);
measure.doSomething();

I think it would be possible to read a Path in a Measure and load it to OS.

Ok ... this is promising. I have the measure loaded. But BCLMeasure does not have a run method and I actually need to execute this bad boy. What is the secret handshake for executing a measure once loaded?

That´s the same problem I have. See: Run Measure. I now use the normal way. When it is loaded to OpenStudio it will run the measure, when simulation is started. But when you work in the measure for itself, you write it with ruby, yes? Therefore you have a run-Methode. You will see in the Link.

OK, so you can't do this in a generic/meta way (I wonder why not). I will try it the other way. Thanks.

@gg_student : can you get measure list from My measure folder ? i wonder it should be somewhere.
