Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] jEPlus & Window-to-wall ratio

That sounds like a great idea Niraj. Sure, you can send me emails to my yahoo address. About the use of .inp and .imf files in jEPlus, could you please explain a bit more? The example also could surely be helpful. 

Thanks again. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Why dont you try creating .inp files for the WWR and Interior Partitions and then call them up directly in the .imf file through JEPlus. If you would like to go through this process, I have an example that I can share with you. Ivan Korolija from jEplus was the person who helped me with it and I have been following this way ever since.

Basically you create .inp files using Notepad and call them up in your .imf file, instead of an idf file. I hope that makes sense. 

Can  I send you an email directly to your amirhosein_ghoreishi@xxxxxxxxx?

    Folks,

    I have been trying to use jEPlus for a parametric study that includes wall, slab, window-to-wall ratio (WWR) and interior partitions as variables for 8 different locations. Unlike the first two, for WWR and partitions, I have not been able to get it to work and Jeremiah and other folks have been generously trying to help. I have come up with an idea and would be grateful if you think whether this a right approach to start with.

    Instead of having one .idf file with different search strings representing all variables, I will have three .idf files for three WWR(s) and three .idf files for 3 different partition layouts, and then I will place the search strings for wall and slab variables in all 6 .idf files. At the end, I will choose all 6 files and all 8 locations all at once and run the jEPlus program. I know this would not give me all possible combinations among these variables but may work. What do you think?
