MLE+ cosimulation. Obtaining outputs without controlling

edit

Sorry for the delay. Could you be more specific? I have tried to define empty schedules. Now I have a different error message:

Error using mlepDecodePacket (line 37) Error while parsing the packet string: a34212 -10

Error in runsimple (line 74) [flag, eptime, outputs] = mlepDecodePacket(packet);

This is on the cmd.exe window:

ExternalInterface initializes. Opaque part contains invalid character: \ Error: Parser error in file 'variables.cfg': mismatched tag

But I have no \ character...

Any ideas?

I'm not sure what those errors mean. Are you using the EnergyPlusToFMU tool (http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/fmu...) to setup your EnergyPlus file for co-simulation?

For what I read on the ExternalInterfaces Application Guide, and MLE+ blog, the connection is between BCVTB and EnergyPlus . I did set up the Energyplus file inside the Idf editor at the ExternalInterface section, where I declared Ptolemy, as explained in the examples.

Have you tried setting up an input into EnergyPlus, even if it's not used for anything within EnergyPlus?

I solved the problem, at least partially. I now get the desired outputs in Matlab code but I cannot obtain the results on the simulink environment. The problem is again the input values.

On the code, i set as input a empty array this way: SP = [];

   % Write to inputs of E+

ep.write(mlepEncodeRealData(VERNUMBER, 0, eptime, SP));  

% Save to logdata
logdata(kStep, :) = [SP outputs];

But when I'm on the simulink environment I don't know what to link to the input port of the E+ cosimulation block [http://txn.name/mleplus/mlep_manual.h...]

Any ideas?
