Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Expand mixer and splitter fields .....
You will have to use the batch file that comes with EnergyPlus. Here are
the steps I took to run your file.
1) Edit RunEplus.bat (this file is in the EnergyPlus root directory
(i.e. Program Files\EnergyPlusV3-0-0 on my machine)
Enter the path for the EnergyPlus root directory in the program_path
environment variable.
The line looks like this in my file:
set program_path="D:\Program Files\EnergyPlusV3-0-0\"
Notice I used quotation marks (") around the path since there was a
space in the path name. Don't forget the \ at the end of the line.
2) Place your input file in the ExampleFiles directory
(...EnergyPlusV3-0-0\ExampleFiles on my machine) and your weather file
in the weather file directory (...EnergyPlusV3-0-0\WeatherData on my
machine)
3) Execute the DOS command prompt
4) At the DOS command prompt, switch to the EnergyPlus root directory.
(i.e., CD\EnergyPlusV3-0-0 )
5) Execute the EnergyPlus batch file.
The command line syntax is:
RunEplus FileName WeatherFileName
I used this command line:
RunEplus ip chicago ( I have a weather file named Chicago.epw so I don't
have to type the long file name )
It's running now.......
