<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I should provide an example TRNSYS parametric project in the package; I will do that in a couple of days. In the meantime, could you take a look at the E+ example? Just open the project in the example/ folder, and you will see how to specify parameters. Unlike E+, the weather file in a TRNSYS model is normal parameter. You just need to create a parameter and think of a search string (e.g. "@@weather@@") to put in the place of the weather file in the .DCK (or .TRD) file, and then specify the alt. values of the parameter using syntax like "{weather1.txt, weather2.txt, ...}". </FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Here is quick video of how to use jEPlus (<A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9v8k52IyvV4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9v8k52IyvV4</A>). Again it is for E+ rather than TRNSYS; but the principle is the same.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Yi,<BR><BR>I just had a short look at it and did not find an option to vary sets of values, e.g. if I vary a location I need to specify the name of the weather data file, the latitude, shift in solar time and possibly some other values. If there is this option and I did not see it, please ignore my comment.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>björn<BR><BR>Am 07.05.2012 13:43, schrieb Yi Zhang:

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=Arial>jEPlus is an open source parametric tool for managing EnergyPlus simulations. Due to popular demand, support for TRNSYS simulations has been added to the latest version (jEPlus v1.3beta). Please visit <A href="http://www.iesd.dmu.ac.uk/jeplus/">http://www.iesd.dmu.ac.uk/jeplus/</A> for more details. Please note we are currently testing the new version; any comments or suggestions will be much appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
