2020-10-19 07:32:29 -0500 | marked best answer | [BCVTB - E+] Steps to change timestep value (hourly reporting frequency)? I am using Output:Variable (report output variables from E+ to external interface) and ExternalInterface:Schedule (getting schedule data from external interface) I have tried editing the .idf file variable but I get this error. What else should I change in order to change the timestep of data exchange? |
2018-10-30 01:52:13 -0500 | marked best answer | [E+, BCVTB] How to input dynamic data (for time t+1) into E+ that depends on the output variable (at time t) I am new to the field. so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Say I have to simulate a model that has the requirement of getting dynamic inputs (after some pre-processing) My typical flow is: At time t: After the output variables are generated, write them onto a file. Retrieve data from the file, and based on this, generate parameters dynamically for the next timestep. Now write this onto a file At time t+1: The newly generated parameters is used as input to E+ for the next time step. ... and so on. Is this above design feasible in EnergyPlus? If yes, a detailed explanation will be hugely appreciated. Note: The crux of the query is whether control can be transferred from E+ to external programs (say for each minute of simulation) to fetch the inputs for the next timestep (which also happens to depend on the previous timestep's output) |
