Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: IMF files & EP Macro




I answered you before -- can be run from ep-launch.

Looks like you are putting it directly in an IDF?

And when trying without ! after each (I thought I found the issue
was I was writing to IDD, but did not work) 

Again to all who may know, any advise would be much appreciated. (one
thing I am not sure of is if this has to be ran with command promp?)
again many thanks

I changed the file extension to .inp, and followed what seemed to
make since in the documentation but still got the error below when
runing the attached files. Any advise as to what I am doing wrong?

EP Macro is described in the Auxiliary Programs document.

If you are using EP-Launch, there is a "inc" that can be set
and tested
in each subsequent simulation. (I believe there is a simple
example
shown in the files area here).

The output files from EP-Macro are put as "epmidf" and "epmdet"

extensions -- usually in the output files area. It looks like
there was
a previous set of messages about this -- I will catch up to
them
tomorrow.
