ExpandObjects source code

edit

Jason, I'm slightly confused... I was expecting those f90 files to have been converted to C++ with v8.2. Am I missing something?

The main focus of the conversion from Fortran to C++ was the main EnergyPlus program. Many utilities, like ExpandObjects, were not converted to C++.

Understood, thanks. Is there a plan to convert those at some point or will they remain in fortran?

We could do that. We have Stuart Mentzer (the man who translated EnergyPlus) under contract. Stay tuned.

Great! Glad I brought this up. I was confused by the f90 vs cpp issue as well

I'm curious if there have been any updates on this. Also, what's the possibility of modifying this code and recompiling only the exapndobjects exe - can that be done without recomiling the whole shebang (forgive the probably simple question from a non-software developer). As I put in another post, I'm trying to change the default fan curve coefficients.

Recompiling ExpandObjects would not take too much effort if you were already familiar with how to set up and compile EnergyPlus but if you have not done that it would be a bit more of a challenge. Swapping out some coefficients sounds easy also. It gets more complex if you want that to go into the normal distribution with EnergyPlus because then everyone else that uses ExpandObjects would be using those new coefficients. If you just want a custom version of ExpandObjects for your own use, that would be easier.
