I am struggling to replace a construction in a construction set generated via openstudio-standard with a construction extracted from a reference model. I have based my code on this measure, but no success so far.
This is my attempt. First I get my wall construction from an existing model
wall_construction = ref_model.getConstructionByName(wall_construction_name).get
(The construction exists)
then i create a standard object and get its construction construction set with
bldg_def_const_set = standard.model_add_construction_set(model, climate_zone, building_type, nil, false)
Finally, I try to replace the construction for walls with
if bldg_def_const_set.is_initialized
# This is the overall construction set
bldg_def_const_set = bldg_def_const_set.get
# This is the exterior surfaces default construction set
default_ext_surface_const_set = bldg_def_const_set.defaultExteriorSurfaceConstructions.get
# And now we can assign the wall
default_ext_surface_const_set.setWallConstruction(wall_construction.to_Construction.get) # Tried also with to_ConstructionBase as in the measure.
puts "SAP construction replaced the default construction!"
building.setDefaultConstructionSet(bldg_def_const_set)
puts "Success!"
else
puts "Could not create default construction set for the building."
end
There is no error, but the new construction is not there.
I cannot understand what I am missing. Any idea?
