Conversion of IDF file from v6 to current (v23.2) failed
Hello,
I have been trying to convert a very old IDF file from v6. I decided to follow 2 steps:
Step 1: v6 to v8.4Using the Multiple IDF Version Conversions https://energyplushelp.freshdesk.com/...
It seems that worked fine
Step 2: v8.4 to v9.0and from v9.0 Using this, copied the pre-processing libraries under the appropriate folder for EnergyPlusV23-2-0: https://energyplushelp.freshdesk.com/...
- Conversion 8.4 => 8.5
- Conversion 8.5 => 8.6
- Conversion 8.6 => 8.7
- Conversion 8.7 => 8.8
- Conversion 8.8 => 8.9
It seems that worked fine
- Conversion 8.9 => 9.0
- Conversion 9.0 => 9.1
- Conversion 9.1 => 9.2
- Conversion 9.2 => 9.3
I get multiple warnings:
* Warning * IP: IDF line~66143 Obsolete object=AirTerminal:SingleDuct:Uncontrolled, encountered. Should be replaced with new object=AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:NoReheat
- Conversion 9.3 => 9.4
- Conversion 9.4 => 9.5
- Conversion 9.5 => 9.6
* Severe * IP: IDF line~66602 Did not find "AirTerminal:SingleDuct:Uncontrolled" in list of Objects
plus a number of warnings of the type:
* Warning * Object=Sizing:Zone, name=B1 N Meeting rms, entered with less than minimum number of fields. * ~~~ * Attempting fill to minimum. * Warning * Object=Sizing:Zone, name=B1 NE Meeting rms, entered with less than minimum number of fields. * ~~~ * Attempting fill to minimum. * Warning * Object=Sizing:Zone, name=B1 E DL Lobby, entered with less than minimum number of fields. * ~~~ * Attempting fill to minimum.
- Conversion 9.6 => later versions
loads of errors
Nonetheless all IDF files get written / saved. I have tried opening the 22.3 IDF file within Honeybee for Grasshopper and I got the error message: The IDF is from EnergyPlus version 9.2. plus a number of other conversion errors
How do you recommend proceeding?
Are you using IDFVersionUpdater or the command line to manually update the files for each version?
Jason, I am using the IDFVersionUpdater
I'm confused by the file still showing it as EnergyPlus version 9.2. If you start with that file and just go up one version to 9.3 does it still show as 9.2?
yes, strangely it does. All subsequent and intermediate versions saved in the conversion indicate "version 9.2"
Please send me your file or post it somewhere I can download it and I will try and see if there is a bug (I wrote IDFVersionUpdater). jglazer at gard dot com
