<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm a new Energy Plus user and I've some problem to
understand what is the best way to use the program..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the main web site there are a lot of interfaces
that allow to manage the whole simulation (create input file and visualize
the outpus) or to only edit the IDF file, but I don't understand if using
the tools I can access to all the functionality of Energy Plus.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think that the best way could be to use the IDF
editor, but:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a) I don't find any tutorial;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>b) I would input the geometry from a dxf file
generated by autocad or another GUI tool.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can someone explain me what is the best way to use
the tools for a new user?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank's everybody</FONT></DIV>
