I'm iterating through an array of ModelObjects and want to single out those that are of class WaterHeater? Is there a method that returns the class of the current object? Not sure how to word this question. When I get the class of the object, it is ModelObject. However, I know from looking at the model that it's class WaterHeater. Whenever I use the method supplyComponents, it returns the component as a model object.
Using .name under IddObject will return a string of the OS object name.
There are a few ways to do this:
modelObjects = model.getHVACComponents
waterHeaters = []
modelObjects.each do |obj|
if obj.to_WaterHeaterMixed.is_initialized
obj = obj.to_WaterHeaterMixed.get #converts the object to a waterHeaterMixed object
waterHeaters << obj
end
end
waterHeaters.each do |obj|
puts "#{obj.name}"
puts "#{obj.class}"
end
#Alternatively
waterHeaters = model.getWaterHeaterMixeds
