How to use BEopt idf output in E+?
Hello, I would like to use the E+ idf file generated by BEopt to run simulations directly in E+. However, even after updating the IDF file to the most current version, E+ comes up with >40 errors trying to simulate it. How can I use the BEopt output file in E+ without the errors? -Stepp
