Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: *.Rvi File Question
Hey there,
I was looking also for that exact thing and managed now to
at least create one RVI-file that pulls the defined variables in the
CSV-file.
However, since I am not really familiar with software programming
topics like this 'batch-file' that, as I learned now, apparently is need for
multiple RVI-/CSV-files.
I was looking into the installation folder of E+ and
found several batch-files (Epl-run, RUNEP, RunEPlus, RunReadEso) which are
editable with the notepad.
Can anybody please help me with the
modifications of those and also, how it works exactly with creating multiple
RVI-files. I already tried to give the one file a different name but then the
CSV-file didn't come out after the simulation.
Thank you for your
assistance,
Tobias
