[Equest-users] Ask help to RUN model directly by doe22

[Jeff Haberl]

Hello Grammy,



I think you have a conceptual problem with your input file. Specifically,  there should be no reason to have such a large input file...ever...



Without knowing anything about your simulation I can guess that you have too many zones, floors, and/or windows/walls, etc.



Therefore, I suggest you simplify your simulation down to a basic building that has the features that you're trying to evaluate, and cut out all the extra input lines that are not having an impact on your simulation. You can also use multipliers to get the intended result.



Unfortunately, there are not a lot of websites where you can go for advice on this...one that may help is the IBPSA USA web site that has a PPT file about a  simulation overview. Also, in the original DOE-2 Newsletters there use to be advice about multipliers, etc., which may also be discussed in the EQUEST/DOE-2.2 website.



If you insist that you have to have all these lines of code, then you can cut the file into pieces, make multiple runs and glue the pieces back together again using the hourly files.



Hope this helps.



Jeff

Subject: [Equest-users] Ask help to RUN model directly by doe22

Hey everyone,

I am trying to run the model directly by doe22.

I have more then 10 models, and each inp file of them is larger then 2MB, even opening the model in eQuest takes me several minutes. Always I need to simulate all of them and this take me more then half an hour to sit just before the monitor, click and wait. And now I realize that opening file in doe22, actually not open - it just check and run the directly, is much quick, and also it will be easier to write a little script to batch run all of them by only one click.

After I unzip the file downloaded from the official website with the code, read the instrument - they run doe22 by a windows batch file, not like other modern execute file, which can send the parameters easily and clearly. There are several limitation in the way they provide, and the most important are:

  *   file path length no`more then 64
  *   file path cannot contain space
  *   weather file location is fixed

I have read the content inside the batch which they provide, but not clear (I am not that good at this coding staff). And I haven't found any other documents to give more help.

Does anyone here know more about this? Like the user manual for doe22, or examples, anything may be helpfull.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Grammy Jiang
