Running the GPSHookeJeeves GenOpt example using Eplus v8.2 gives me this error in GenOpt:
File: 'C:\GenOpt\example\energyplus\8_2_0\GPSHookeJeeves\tmp-genopt-run-1\singleZonePurchAir.eso' does not exist after simulation call.
In the 'tmp-genopt-run-1' folder the singleZonePurchAir.err file shows these warnings:
* Warning * Version: in IDF="7.0" not the same as expected="8.2" * Warning * The following Report Variables were requested but not generated * ~~~ * because IDF did not contain these elements or misspelled variable name -- check .rdd file *** Key=, VarName=IDEAL LOADS TOTAL COOLING ENERGY, Frequency=Annual *** Key=, VarName=IDEAL LOADS TOTAL HEATING ENERGY, Frequency=Annual *** Key=*, VarName=LIGHTS ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION, Frequency=Annual
I used an idf version update tool to go from v 7.0 to 8.2, and I altered the GenOpt cfg and the .ini files from the example folder. Updating did alter the output variables to be
Output:Variable,*,Zone Ideal Loads Supply Air Total Cooling Energy,Environment;
Output:Variable,*,Zone Ideal Loads Supply Air Total Heating Energy,Environment;
Output:Variable,*,Lights Electric Energy,Environment;
for v8.2 instead of the original:
Output:Variable,*,Ideal Loads Total Cooling Energy,Environment;
Output:Variable,*,Ideal Loads Total Heating Energy,Environment;
Output:Variable,*,Lights Electric Consumption,Environment;
for v7.0.
I am confused as to why the version warning still persists, and I am also not sure where the Key=*, VarName= warnings/errors are coming from. Thus far I haven't been able to located these particular variables in v8.2 .rdd files.
Any ideas?
I did take a look at this post: https://unmethours.com/question/11600/genopt-31-can-be-coupled-to-energyplus-82-or-just-can-be-coupled-with-energyplus-700/
