BCVTB Eplus coupling
When I try to run BCVTB with EnergyPlus, programme terminates and gives the following errors :
* Severe * Output:PreprocessorMessage="EPMacro" has the following Severe conditions: * ~~~ * at approximately input line number=5201: column=10 * ~~~ * undefined macro name referenced * ~~~ * symbol=Insulation * ~~~ * refer to <file>.epmdet for details.

Could you for debugging purposes disable the ExternalInterface by commenting out ExternalInterface, PtolemyServer; and re-running your IDF? This will allow to determine whether your IDF file is correct.
Well, thanks for the answer. My problem is WHY it shows error with value "duplicate name". What does this mean? Thanks.
You seem to have schedules objects with same name in the IDF. This will make your IDF invalid.
So how should I name these two schedules? As they are the ones I want to be changed. I want actually to change these setpoints of these schedules through genetic algorithms in MATLAB.
Could you post your IDF? It might be easier to debug.
