Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Macro for multy-files running

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

EzPlus-Parm is a free windows tool available from the Deringer Group for 
managing parametric runs:  

http://www.deringergroup.com/Software/EPlusTools.htm

Of, if you prefer to write your own batch files, you can set up a master 
batch file such as this:

echo ##set1 MyParameter 01 > Parameters.imf
call RunEplus.bat inputfilename weatherfilename
echo ##set1 MyParameter 02 > Parameters.imf
call RunEplus.bat inputfilename weatherfilename

etc.

This batch file writes an ep-macro ##set1 command to a temporary file call 
Parameters.imf and then calls the RunEplus batch file which is included in 
the EnergyPlus distribution.  For v1.1.1 please download the fixed version 
of RunEPlus.bat from 

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EnergyPlus_Support/files/Updates/Windows/


Then in your input file (which must be a .imf file), use ep-macro commands 
to include the parameters file and set a value based on the parameter:

##show
##showdetail
##include Parameters.imf

  Version,
    1.1.1;  !- Version Identifier

  BUILDING,
    Simple One Zone (no roof-no floor),  !- Building Name
    MyParameter[],  !- North Axis {deg}
    Suburbs,  !- Terrain
    3.9999999E-02,  !- Loads Convergence Tolerance Value {W}
    4.0000002E-03,  !- Temperature Convergence Tolerance Value {deltaC}
    MinimalShadowing,  !- Solar Distribution
    25;  !- Maximum Number of Warmup Days

etc.

This example would set the building north axis to be the value of 
MyParameter as set in the master batch file.
