<p class="MsoNormal">Hey Christopher,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yeah, ideally that’s would I would like to do. I’m unsure how to define the curves though. It looks like the .inp references a library item, but I’ve dug through the .dat files and can’t find the data. If I could find the syntax I could
script a “New Curve 1, 2, etc,” and reference it in the .inp like you said. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal">You could define a bunch of curves with different names in the .inp file. Then use a Global Parameter and a Keyword expression to switch the curve on each parametric run. Use a switch statement keyword expression to change the curve for
each parametric run.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently using MASControl3 and eQuest 3.65 (October 2018 release) and I would like to define my own performance curves for building HVAC systems. I am confused by the changes to the .inp files in the new release. In previous versions
of eQuest, I was able to specify Global Parameters and automatically update the HVAC system’s performance curve coefficients (see DXAC_INP_Old, attached). Now, however, it seems that performance curves are called from a library within the eQuest data (see
DXAC_INP_New, attached). So far, I have been unable to find where that library is.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to locate the library and write a python script to update the performance curve coefficients on multiple model runs. Does anyone know where I might find this data?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
