[Equest-users] software language

[Jackson, Alan]

I believe DOE-2 is written in Fortran actually. 

The BDL and INP files are just reference files that contain certain input parameters that the program reads, they are written in plain English, similar to XML which is then called upon by the program.

Stephen,
 
I'm surprised this answer wasn't responded to earlier--this is an easy one.   BDL is the language that DOE2 is written with, a.k.a. Building Description Language.  Or also referred to as DOE-code...because it's it's own thing.   Now I don't know the detailed orginiation history of this code, but it was developed by the DOE and the DOE2.2 version is now being developed by JJ Hirsch and Associates for use with DOE based programs or own it's own, but now being primarily used with eQuest.
 
Other programs available such as VisualDOE, PowerDOE, etc also run the DOE code, but it is usually using a previous version of the simulation software  (.i.e. DOE 2.1e)
 
Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me the name of the software language that e-quest uses, or are there multiple languages for the different file types?
