Hi All,
I am using design builder to calculating design heating and cooling loads. I require multiple outputs based on different glazing selections and Summer/Winter Design Weather risks. Currently my process is to:
- Change the modeling parameters I require
- Run the heating and cooling design calculations
- Manually export the results for each (including coincident cooling, non-coincident cooling, and heating)
I would like to know if it is possible to automate this process using a script. I have have had a look at the example scripts and can get some of these to work however I am a bit stuck trying to cutomise them. I am able to bring up a message box before the heating simulation (example code I am using below) however I am stuck after that.
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DB.Extensibility.Contracts;
public class ExampleScript : ScriptBase, IScript
{
public override void BeforeHeatingSimulation()
{
MessageBox.Show("Simulation is about to start.");
}
}
Resources I have looked at include:
- Extensibility Tools User Guide
- DesignBuilder Help Manual
Any help/ ideas would be very much appreciated.
Michael.
