RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: include using macros

I think your format worked because there is no '\' in the begining of the path and file name.

This is added to the current directory , and the format is varied DOS path and fnname.

{ } should not be use to enclose the file name.

If you are using a network drive, you may need to map it into a DOS drive and path format.

It may work with ##fileprefix.

I have an imf file in a folder called ?Model? which has the following code in it to grab other imf files. I did have issues initially getting it to find the file and this is what ended up working, hope it helps. I also have not used jEPlus before either.

##include Model\Includes\General.imf

##include Model\Includes\Constructions.imf

##if #[ Geometry[] EQS BASELINE ]

##include Model\Includes\Geometry.imf

##elseif #[ Geometry[] EQS DSF ]

##include Model\Includes\Geometry_DSF.imf

##endif

##include Model\Includes\Shading.imf

##include Model\Includes\InternalMass.imf

I gave this a really quick try and it failed due to multiple Version objects.

But the files (epmidf or epmdet) look fine.

Version, 6.0.0.023; !- Version Identifier
##include \\harry\d\testing\defectpretesting\20110721\20110721_Geo.imf
##include \\harry\d\testing\defectpretesting\20110721\20110721_HVAC.imf
##include \\harry\d\testing\defectpretesting\20110721\20110721_Plant.imf

(so I used the unc from my network drives -- worked fine). Literally, those 4 lines are what is in my file.
