It is the .prd file which is a text file that defines parametric
runs.<br>
<br>
The answer to whether it can be copied to other models -- the answer
is a very cautious yes. You simply rename the old .prd file with
the new project name and pow, you have a series of parametric runs
to start with in the new model. <b><i>However</i></b>, parametric
runs use the u-value names to identify model components to be
changed. Thus, as long as your zone names or AHU names or whatever
are the same, then, yes, you could use the .prd file from one model
to another. However, as you can imagine -- once things change, it
is very challenging to realign them.<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>
