[Equest-users] Parametric runs

[Stefano Moret]

Thanks Jeremiah,

I actually don't want to change much to the model itself, I just want to give different properties to materials (or change components) in different times of the year. Let's say, I want to use a type of skylight in winter that's different from the one I use in summer, by changing the model of the skylight or some of its main parameters. Do you think this might be possible? Maybe adding some external script?

Thanks, Stefano

I do not believe so, but you can try lots of different configurations that you either draw, or trace from cad..

Hi,

I'm new to the use of E-quest, I'm just starting to play around with it by performing some preliminary simulations.
The reason why I started using it is because of its feature of managing skylight properties: for a research project I'd like to simulate an "ideal skylight" solution, which could basically adapt its main properties (VLT and SHGC) in order to minimize building energy consumption. I've seen there's a very interesting "parametric run" tool, which can make me able to perform simulations with different values of these parameters.
My question is: does E-quest support the possibility of writing a function which changes this values over the run itself with a rule set by the user? Or, at least, can I set different values at different times of the day?

Thanks for your attention,
Best Regards
Stefano
