Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Which BAT file to use for own User Interface and how to pass params



This isn't really an EnergyPlus question, it's a batch file question.  

In batch, you reference the variables you created (epin, epout) using pre and post fixed percents (%epin%, %epout%).  I don't know where you got the word PARAM from, but just change it to epl-run.bat %epin% %epout% %etc% %etc% and it should work.  (%etc% is not a variable, put the rest of your variables there.)  

As Jason mentioned, you might also want to use the other batch file, but the same approach will apply for passing variables.

Hello guys,


i`m still a student and working at my bachelor thesis.

I use EnergyPlus v 7.2 and have big problems.

I created an application and java where the user can create a valid Input Data File. I now need to execute EnergyPlus via batch file. 

I assume I have to use Epl-run.bat to start the batch process. But how to pass parameters? I tried the following at the windows console:

But how do I pass/set the parameters? Up to now I tried it like this:

Open cmd:

SET epin=C:\EnergyPlusV7-2-0\ExampleFiles\1ZoneEvapCooler

SET epout= C:\output\output

SET epinext= idf

SET epwthr = USA_CA_San.Francisco.Intl.AP.724940_TMY3.epw

SET maxcol = nolimit

SET cntActv = 1

C:\EnergyPlusV7-2-0\Epl-run.bat PARAM


This doesn`t work and I don`t know whats wrong... Can anybody help me?

Best Regards,
Rick
