I'm running EnergyPlus through the command line in parallel, where each IDF resides in its own directory. I have to run expandobjects.exe with the -x flag for each EnergyPlus simulation, which results in temporary files overwriting themselves somewhere on my disk. Therefore, some .expidf files are not created and my parallel simulations crash.
Where does expandobjects.exe save its temporary files? I would like to make sure that the temporary files are created in separate directories, allowing me to successfully execute EnergyPlus in parallel.
Thank you for any help!
(P.S: I did read this UnmetHours post about parallelization with ExpandObjects; however, I don't have the option of running ExpandObjects ahead of time)
