I wish to perform large scale analysis using OpenStudio but I have difficulties to follow the installation process described here: http://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user-documentation/tutorials/large_scale_analysis/
I have a number of questions:
- "Starting OpenStudio's Cloud": Do I need to install Ruby and Git before running this code from my OS' command prompt? (i.e.
gem install bundler
,git clone ...
, etc.) - "Export spreadsheet": Tried to "Export Analysis Spreadsheet" from PAT but got a "Export failed" error. (I'm using a simple test building with one room which runs smoothly in PAT)
- "Running OpenStudio's cloud": must this command be run from a specific path? (
rake run
)
It seems that "Large Scale Analysis" is still a rough beta version. But I strongly believe that the community will benefit from these features so I hope the hard-working developers will continue down that path and make "large scale analyses" more accessible and user-friendly :-) Hope to hear from you..
NB: I am running OpenStudio 1.11.0 and have an account at Amazon EC2 web services.
