EnergyPlus Batch with Slurm

Hi All, I am working on getting started with multi node batch processing on a networked super computer. The computer is set up to run E+ and batched through Slurm files. I also have a Python script that uses Eppy to modify the files and read results.

A few questions:

  1. Does anyone have a sample batch file in Slurm for running E+?
  2. Should I run the Eppy scripts first, then run E+, then collect results with another script or can I batch the Python scripts.
  3. Any other tips?

Thanks in advance.
