[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: IMF files & EP Macro

["Jean marais" <jeannieboef@xxxxxxxxx>]

just to clarify. You can include text files with the epmacro functionality. this is normal text file and the extention given to them is often imf as a convention, but is not required. Typical application is to generate for example the same code block into idf format and which just changes the zone names involved.

A seperate topic is the parametric preprocessor which creates a seperate idf for each time a set of parameters is exchanged. running the many idfs can be done in several ways using coded commands or doing group runs through eplaunch.

These two can be used together.
