How can you extract large sets of parametric data from BEopt?

asked 4 years ago

Craig Simmons's avatar

I set up some fairly large parametric in BEopt to test it out a bit. I am not finding a straightforward way to extract all of the resulting data. I can export up to 13 points, but I'd like to get all 600 or so into a csv or something so we can look at the data in different ways. Any one know a trick?

In addition to Scott's answer I also discovered that the "*.BEopt" file is just a compressed file containing a json and 2 sqlite files (inputs and outputs). You can extract these using 7-zip and access the sqlite databases directly, which might work better for my use case.

That is true. Use at your own risk, there is no public documentation on how the databases are structured.

I'll update this if it turns out to be a disaster :)

All input and output data can be accessed in CSV format by choosing Reports > Detailed Report in the BEopt menu.
