I'm running some large parallel simulations and the .eso files are quite big (and unnecessary?). I'm using eppy in python at the moment to remove sql and html outputs by removing the lines in my idf files, but can't figure out if this is possible for the .eso files:

2016-07-19 05:58:07 -0500 | commented answer | OpenStudio error in Four Pipe Induction ATU: Induced Air Inlet Node Name is blank Brilliant, this allowed me side-step the problem and add the unit without any difficulties. Thanks Julien, also for submitting the issue as well. |
2016-07-19 04:03:43 -0500 | asked a question | OpenStudio error in Four Pipe Induction ATU: Induced Air Inlet Node Name is blank I'm up against a recurring error very similar to the one described here. The issue is a blank field for the Induced Air input field of a Four Pipe Induction Terminal supplied by Air Handling Unit 1. The interesting thing here is that every time I add a new terminal unit in a new zone the error seems to move to another (the new) terminal unit. I tried changing the type of analysis to detailed analysis as mentioned here, but that didn't make any difference. In addition, the simulation ran before, but once I added additional ZoneExhaust and Ventilation:DesignFlowRate objects it started failing, maybe that has something to do with it. Here is a link to the OpenStudio file. |

2015-09-17 03:04:04 -0500 | commented answer | OpenStudio Measure for user-defined Ground Temperatures Thank you, I was too focussed on reproducing the measure that I didn't look at my own code properly and made some mistakes. It now shows up in my new idf file. |

2015-09-16 09:08:38 -0500 | asked a question | OpenStudio Measure for user-defined Ground Temperatures In my OpenStudio model I wish to set the Ground Temperatures to be user-defined, at the moment my model assumes the Ground Temperature to be 18degC as default, because nothing is assigned. I came across THIS question where it was advised to write a measure for user inputting these values. So I had a go with a simple measure, creating the Site:GroundTemperature:BuildingSurface as an EnergyPlus measure with some user input. I managed to import the measure into my OS model and was able to user define the Ground Temperature, however when I run my model it fails and does not even bring up an error file (without the measure it does run). I wonder if I missed something or that my approach is not correct. I followed THIS example where a PV unit is user defined on some shading elements, the only difference to my measure is that it does not look for any existing objects. Here is my measure.rb: |
