Current tools for Co-simulation

Dear Community!

Please update me which are the current tools used by the community for co-simulations. I wish to concurrently run EnergyPlus, Radiance, and Matlab models with some data fetched from real sensor data loggers.

Has there been other options similar to BCVTB in the recent past? Thank you!

Best regards, Vaibhav

For the coupling of these three tools I suggest you use the BCVTB.

You can do runtime callback with EnergyPlus and Radiance using frads in Python.

A simple example goes something like this, here is a more detailed example.

import frads as fr

emodel = fr.load_energyplus_model("model.idf")
with fr.EnergyPlusSetup(emodel, weather_file="weather.epw", enable_radiance=True) as ep:
    ep.set_callback(controller)
    ep.run()
