[EnergyPlus_Support] ParametricPreProcessor and RunEplus.bat



All,

I would like to run an energyplus model that includes parametric objects from the command prompt.

I have found from the documentation that the recommended way to run EnergyPlus from the command prompt is to use the command

C:\EnergyPlusV8-0-0>RunEplus "C:\EnergyPlusV8-0-0\Tools\Test" "C:\EnergyPlusV8-0-0\WeatherData\USA_CA_San.Francisco.Intl.AP.724940_TMY3"

but when I execute this command, it tries to run the test.idf without running the parametric pre-processor first, and therefore doesn't run.

So I've tried to first run the preprocessor first using the command

C:\EnergyPlusV8-0-0\PreProcess\ParametricPreProcessor> runparam "C:\EnergyPlusV8-0-0\Tools\Test" "C:\EnergyPlusV8-0-0\WeatherData\USA_CA_San.Francisco.Intl.AP.724940_TMY3"

but it says it cannot find the file.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I do know the file is in that location, and the file works great if I just use the EP-Launch interface to run it.

Any guidance re: how to run an energyplus model that includes parametric objects from the command prompt would be greatly appreciated.

I imagine I will have to copy the RunEplus.bat file, rename it, and modify it to first run the parametric preprocessor?  

Many Thanks!!!

Jason Kirkpatrick
