ÂHello,
I am a future young engineer working on building enveloppes. For my master thesis i want to make a co-simulation in order to couple EnergyPlus with optimizations algorithms in Matlab.
Is there a way to control Fenestrations vertex (coordinates)as below by the help of
ExternalInterface.
 ExternalInterface:Variable,
   vertex1,          !- Name of Erl variable
   3;               !- Initial Value
FenestrationSurface:Detailed,
   Sub Surface 6,          !- Name
   Window,                 !- Surface Type
   ASHRAE  !- Construction Name
   Surface 2,              !- Building Surface Name
   ,                       !- Outside Boundary Condition Object
   ,                       !- View Factor to Ground
   ,                       !- Shading Control Name
   ,                       !- Frame and Divider Name
   ,                       !- Multiplier
   ,                       !- Number of Vertices
   7.65,                   !- Vertex 1 X-coordinate {m}
   0,                      !- Vertex 1 Y-coordinate {m}
   3.4,                    !- Vertex 1 Z-coordinate {m}
   7.65,                   !- Vertex 2 X-coordinate {m}
   0,                      !- Vertex 2 Y-coordinate {m}
   0.15,                   !- Vertex 2 Z-coordinate {m}
   8.85,                   !- Vertex 3 X-coordinate {m}
   0,                      !- Vertex 3 Y-coordinate {m}
   0.15,                   !- Vertex 3 Z-coordinate {m}
   8.85,                   !- Vertex 4 X-coordinate {m}
   0,                      !- Vertex 4 Y-coordinate {m}
   vertex1;                    !- Vertex 4 Z-coordinate {m}
If not is there a trick to solve this problem?
Best regards
Mike
