<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I would like to thank you very much for your answer.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Actually, I have solved this issue using the excel-visual basic. I have developed a code that reads the deck and build files and then replaces some predefined strings in these files with some values inserted in the excel
file.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The drawback of this method is that the output results are not confined in one text file and rather a text file for each simulation of the parametric study is created and a method for reading all these files and extracting
the required data from them is needed.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I hope this will be helpful for who is interested with parametric studies in buildings using Trnsys.</p>
