In eppy 0.5.44 documentation there is a description of the "modeleditor.rename(idf, key, oldname, newname)" functionality for applying a new name across the entire idf. I was not able to find anything about the same functionality in the geomeppy documentation. Does anyone know if it is there, why it would not be there, or have an alternative approach to renaming objects?
You can just import modeleditor from eppy. Here's an example:
from geomeppy import IDF
from eppy import modeleditor
IDF.setiddname(r'C:\EnergyPlusV8-0-0\Energy+.idd')
idf_f = IDF(r'C:\EnergyPlusV8-0-0\ExampleFiles\Minimal.idf')
idf_f.add_block(name='Boring hut',coordinates=[(10,0),(10,10),(0,10),(0,0)],height=3.5)
modeleditor.rename(idf_f,'ZONE','Block Boring hut Storey 0','Block Not so boring hut Storey 0')
idf_f.idfobjects['ZONE']
The output will look like that:
[
ZONE,
Block Not so boring hut Storey 0, !- Name
0.0, !- Direction of Relative North
0.0, !- X Origin
0.0, !- Y Origin
0.0, !- Z Origin
1, !- Type
1, !- Multiplier
autocalculate, !- Ceiling Height
autocalculate, !- Volume
autocalculate, !- Floor Area
, !- Zone Inside Convection Algorithm
, !- Zone Outside Convection Algorithm
Yes; !- Part of Total Floor Area
