Hello guys! I just started working with simulations and I have a question: From what I've studied and understood, the way I'm doing is geometrically modeling my structure in Sketchup, along with the openstudio plugin and defining the thermal zones. The question is: Will i continue to use only Openstudio to perform assignment of loads, HVAC systems and other calculations? Or do I just do the part of the thermal zones and then I go to the EnergyPlus program and allocate what you need? For the videos and tutorials that i saw, most do everything within the openstudio, from the geometric modeling to obtaining the results of the simulations.
