Same results for different IDF when simulated using EnergyPlus API
Hi,
I have 4500 different IDFs with different configuration.
I have to simulate it using API and cannot use traditional group simulation.
I use 'for' loop to go through 4500 IDFs and save the resulting CSV results file in a separate folder with different name (see code below).
for i in range(0,4499,1):
api = EnergyPlusAPI()
state = api.state_manager.new_state()
api.state_manager.reset_state(state)
api.runtime.run_energyplus(state,
[
'-d', 'C:/Users/4500_IDFs',
'-w', 'C:/Users/4500_IDFs/Weather_File_SYR_Modified_with_Real_Data.epw',
'-r',
'C:/Users/4500_IDFs/' + building_list[i] + '.idf'
]
)
original_file = 'eplusout.csv'
new_file = building_list[i] + '.csv'
shutil.copy(original_file, new_file)
building_list is the list containing all the file names of 4500 IDFs.
However, all of those files have the same results. How can I solve this issue?
Thanks for your time!
@prp92 can you add the code of your script or another way for others to check that you're creating the 'for' loop correctly? It sounds like you are running the same IDF every time, or running each IDF but copying the CSV results from only one IDF.
my code is as follows.
for i in range(0,4499,1): api = EnergyPlusAPI() state = api.state_manager.new_state() api.state_manager.reset_state(state)
building_list is the list containing all the file names of 4500 IDFs.
@prp92 thank you. In the future, please edit your post to add code and other important details like this instead of putting that into a comment (I've done it for you this time).
@Aaron Boranian Sure. I will change the post next time.
