[Equest-users] Parametric Runs with System Type Changes

Thu Feb 8 10:48:27 PST 2018

 Thanks, Nick. I KNEW I had done an outside central plant against package units somewhere in the past. Thanks for reminding me how it is done.
How is your work load? Mine in modeling is at a crawl. But my grandson's High School and travel team baseball is not. His coach thinks he can get a Division I baseball scholarship in a few years (he is a freshman).
Wish I could make some money off of this..

Each time you execute a parametric simulation, an INP file is generated with the same label (number) in the directory containing the base project.  Typically you’ll see something like the following in your project directory after a few simulations:

PROJECT_NAME.inp

PROJECT_NAME – Baseline Design.inp

PROJECT_NAME – 1.inp

PROJECT_NAME – 2.inp

etc…

You can point a parametric run to be based off of the inp with a label corresponding to the “final” parametric.  That file should contain all of the cumulative parametric changes to the baseline model. 

Does that help?

Subject: [Equest-users] Parametric Runs with System Type Changes

Hello all,

I am hoping someone can help me with this topic.  I am using Parametric runs to make changes to a building’s envelope, insulation, etc.  The last run I want to make is a system change, using a different file.  When I do this, the final run is not based on the previous parametric runs, but rather reverts to the original baseline even though I have selected the run to be based on the final parametric.  Do I have to input all parametric runs in both files in order to model the system change?  Or is there a different way to do this?

Thank you,

Sam
