3d animation of E+ results

asked 2022-01-23 09:36:51 -0500

updated 2022-02-19 08:06:17 -0500

I would like to make a video showing an animation of the building in which I can see the temperature variation through timesteps. What is the best software to visualize the results in Energyplus in a 3D model? It seems Euclid could do that but it's not available for the last versions of Sketchup and E+.

OpenStudio has a measure called "View Data" which produces a 3D model that you can interact with and allows visualizing output variables. An example can be found in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlrWE...

You could do a record of your screen while you play with it. But better, yet, you can share the HTML file and associated json file, and anyone can open it in a browser and play with it even if they don't have OpenStudio installed.

The measure is available via the BCL.

(the source of the measure is here: https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-co...)
