[Equest-users] Sim file questions

I have tried that and it works. What’s screwy is that the titles also appear in the 3.65 viewer – just not all the time. For instance I just ran a set of sims and they have mysteriously reappeared.

Strange.

First:  Jeff, I would have never guessed that in a million years!  I thought whoever designed the format had a very sleek aesthetic going on…

So Second:  I think Vik is actually wondering where the column headers have gone to… Here’s a report from a 3.64 dummy model:

This is just a shot in the dark, but have you tried opening the same SIM file using the 3.64 SIM viewer or a text editor?  That might establish whether there’s just something bonkers with the 3.65 SIM viewer in your case.  You can find (and create a shortcut to) the SIM viewers (D2SimViewer.exe) in the same installation directory as your eQuest executable.

FYI:



The " - - - "s in DOE-2 files were put there so one  could count the space numbers on a 132 character line printer. These are less than useful when looking at the file electronically.

I can answer the 2nd question:

Select the parametric component “Titles”, select the keyword e.g. LINE-3 and enter the value *ASHRAE 90.1 Ref Run*

It is important to put the title between asterisks.

As to the 1st question, I have not noticed that before.

So I have a couple of questions regarding the images here:
SIM File
[cid:image004.png at 01D08C17.A32E2070]
INP File
[cid:image005.png at 01D08C17.A32E2070]


1.       I notice that sometimes in my SIM file (version 3.65) I am missing the titles in the BEPS, BEPU and some other reports for end use breakdowns (area highlighted in yellow)

2.       Also – Area highlighted in cyan – I want to know how I can change the title of the sim file PARAMETRICALLY. I am aware of how to do it in the inp file (highlighted above), but I am running a bunch of parametric simulations and would love to know how to do this as a parametric command. I’m hoping this is possible.

Thanks in advance!
