Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Call for IDF Editor Suggestions

["Chandan Sharma chandangsharma@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I rather prefer that IDF Editor applies some sort of standard indentation instead of retaining the indentation that I put in. That in my view will make the EMS program to be better organized and it will always be consistent. But others may prefer to retain their indents instead. So it is up to Jason and team to decide what will be the best thing to do. If possible, users may be given a choice to decide what indentation they want for the EMS program.

Chandan,

Are you saying that you want to retain the indents? (or something else)

Jason,

If you are still taking inputs, here is one more request. Can IDFEditor sort EMS programs in a different way (the way we actually write IF-ELSE ,nested loops statements etc) than rest of the objects?

For example, if the idf has following EMS program

    IF ABS_QdotReq < ABS_FullTotCapSens,  !- <none>

          Set PLR = (ABS_QdotReq - FanPowerToAir)/ (ABS_FullTotCapSens - FanPowerToAir),  !- <none>

          Set ErrorTol = 0.0005,   !- <none>

          Set Iter = 0,            !- <none>

          Set MaxIter = 30,        !- <none>

          Set Relax = 0.8,         !- <none>

          Set ABS_Error = 0.002,   !- <none>

          WHILE (ABS_Error > ErrorTol) && (Iter < MaxIter),  !- <none>

                Set OutAir_H = (PLR*FullLoadOutAirEnth) +  ((1.0-PLR)* FanOut_H),  !- <none>

                Set OutAir_W = (PLR*FullLoadOutAirHumRat) + ((1.0-PLR)*FanOut_W),  !- <none>

                Set OutletAirTemp = @TdbFnHW OutAir_H OutAir_W,  !- <none>

                Set TotCapTest = AirSupMdotDesign * (DesiredZone_H - OutAir_H),  !- <none>

                Set Error = (ABS_QdotReq - TotCapTest)/ABS_QdotReq,  !- <none>

                Set ABS_Error = @ABS Error,  !- <none>

                IF (ABS_Error > ErrorTol),  !- <none>

                      Set DelPLR = (ABS_QdotReq - TotCapTest) / ABS_FullTotCapSens,  !- <none>

                      Set PLR = PLR + Relax * DelPLR,  !- <none>

                      Set PLR = @min PLR 1.0,  !- <none>

                ENDIF,                   !- <none>

                Set Iter = Iter + 1,     !- <none>

                If (Iter == 16),         !- <none>

                      Set Relax = 0.5,         !- <none>

                ENDIF,                   !- <none>

          ENDWHILE,                !- <none>

    ELSE,                    !- <none>

          Set PLR = 1.0,           !- <none>

          Set OutAir_H = FullLoadOutAirEnth,  !- <none>

          Set OutAir_W = FullLoadOutAirHumRat,  !- <none>

          Set OutletAirTemp = FullLoadOutAirTemp,  !- <none>

    ENDIF,                   !- <none>

after sorting from IDF Editor, it becomes as follows

    IF ABS_QdotReq < ABS_FullTotCapSens,  !- A68

    Set PLR = (ABS_QdotReq - FanPowerToAir)/ (ABS_FullTotCapSens - FanPowerToAir),  !- A69

    Set ErrorTol = 0.0005,   !- A70

    Set Iter = 0,            !- A71

    Set MaxIter = 30,        !- A72

    Set Relax = 0.8,         !- A73

    Set ABS_Error = 0.002,   !- A74

    WHILE (ABS_Error > ErrorTol) && (Iter < MaxIter),  !- A75

    Set OutAir_H = (PLR*FullLoadOutAirEnth) +  ((1.0-PLR)* FanOut_H),  !- A76

    Set OutAir_W = (PLR*FullLoadOutAirHumRat) + ((1.0-PLR)*FanOut_W),  !- A77

    Set OutletAirTemp = @TdbFnHW OutAir_H OutAir_W,  !- A78

    Set TotCapTest = AirSupMdotDesign * (DesiredZone_H - OutAir_H),  !- A79

    Set Error = (ABS_QdotReq - TotCapTest)/ABS_QdotReq,  !- A80

    Set ABS_Error = @ABS Error,  !- A81

    IF (ABS_Error > ErrorTol),  !- A82

    Set DelPLR = (ABS_QdotReq - TotCapTest) / ABS_FullTotCapSens,  !- A83

    Set PLR = PLR + Relax * DelPLR,  !- A84

    Set PLR = @min PLR 1.0,  !- A85

    ENDIF,                   !- A86

    Set Iter = Iter + 1,     !- A87

    If (Iter == 16),         !- A88

    Set Relax = 0.5,         !- A89

    ENDIF,                   !- A90

    ENDWHILE,                !- A91

    ELSE,                    !- A92

    Set PLR = 1.0,           !- A93

    Set OutAir_H = FullLoadOutAirEnth,  !- A94

    Set OutAir_W = FullLoadOutAirHumRat,  !- A95

    Set OutletAirTemp = FullLoadOutAirTemp,  !- A96

    ENDIF,                   !- A97

Thanks for asking for inputs.

Guitar strings are in constant tension against the guitar's neck during their entire life. The tension doesnâ??t discourage the guitarâ??s neck. Rather, it allows beautiful music to be made. May it be so with
our lives and their tensions.
