Revision history [back]

OpenStudio generates and idf which can be opened & simulated in EnergyPlus, no issue. The file can be opened/inspected with a text editor, also no issue. But when compared to an idf generated by EnergyPlus the 'headings' are missing. [!- ======== etc]. While not necessary for simulation, it seems odd to me. Is this something can be added or enabled? Have tried loading into EnergyPlus IDF editor and saving from there with 'sorted' in the 'saving options', but these are not added. It is highly useful for 'code folding' & navigation with a/the text editor.
Related to this, EnergyPlus files are not 'order dependent' like DOE2 files are [yes?], but are the OpenStudio generated idf files in 'order' or is the order more 'free form'?

Thanks in advance
