Hi Everyone, I am trying to write a measure to adjust Thermostat Tolerance {deltaC} for all- or selected AvailabilityManager:NightCycleobjects in an OS model. That brings up another question: is any available method to call the objects, something like model.<method name>? Thanks,

You can use the setThermostatTolerance method to change the thermostatTolerance parameter.

You can refer to the SDK for more details on the available methods for a given class here.

As for how to call an object, you can, for example, create an array with all of the available objects of a certain class that exists in your model. If you want to get all the AvailabilityManagerNightCycle objects in your model, you could define the run method to do

array = model.getAvailabilityManagerNightCycles

Note that you need to use the name of the classes in the Openstudio SDK, not the name displayed in the GUI or the name in the Energyplus I/O reference.

Thank you very much. I have my new measure working now. Also, where did you find the method getAvailabilityManagerNightCycles or like a more commonly-used method, getBuilding, on Openstudio SDK? Is there any list for all the methods for model? Thanks,

No worries, make sure to mark the answer as correct. the getModelObjects method is a template parameter from the model object. Find the list of other template parameters in the SDK (here)
