Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: How to make a weather file?

[Drury B Crawley <dbcrawley@xxxxxxxxx>]

The .def file should have the same name as the raw data file that you have.  For example, if your raw data file is named  ABCDEF1234.dat then the .def should be named ABCDEF1234.def.  In the Weather Converter, select 'custom' as the file type.  That requires a .def file.  The .def file tells the Weather Converter how to convert the file--units and conversion factors included.

Is that weather converter is used to change format only?
Now what I get is a raw data(2003-2007), how can I make it become TMY2? Is that I have to calculate through EXCEL first?
I have read Auxiliary Programs document about custom weather
files. After I write a .def file, what should I do next? I can't connect the raw data to .def file, could you help me?
