You need to use something called the MultipleVersionIDFUpdater that will automatically detect your version and then update it to the latest version. I used it last year to convert hundreds of files from 3.0 to 7.1. The good news was that it always worked; the bad news that it was pretty slow, because it goes through each version step by step. I have my file in an "EnergyPlus Utilities" subdirectory, but that might be a directory name that I created. I don't remember from where I got the program (it's actually requires its own subdirectory, since the mother program then calls all the individual daughter programs version by version). You'll have to search on the EnergyPlus web site, and hopefully find it somewhere.

Hi All,

Could anybody help me how to do .idf file transition from version 6 to 7.2. I tried using the idfversion updater in the per-process folder of energy plus but couldn't succeed in it. If anyone can help me knowing the procedure of .idf transition it would be great. Thanks in advance!
