Has anyone tried generating idfs from modelmaker.nrel.gov (or the EnergyPlus Example File Generator) recently? I've tried periodically over the last month, but haven't had any luck - I get a message that "there was an error retrieving the latest results. Please check back later for updates."

I hope it comes back. It was pretty useful!

I do my best to keep this service running as the app is using legacy code. I am unsure how much longer we are going to support modelmaker.nrel.gov or the example file generator. The best approach for the future is to use OpenStudio and use either the SketchUp plug-in or scripts to generate models dynamically. You can then use PAT to perturb the model using measures from the Building Component Library.

Edit: I tried a couple scenarios and it worked, I believe it may be back online.
