tfedud / eqinp

python tool for creating and running DOE2 command line input files

eqparse

Python module for modifying and running DOE-2 / eQUEST input files.

This module is a work in progress and documentation is currently limited as the API is subject to change.

Getting Started

to get started, git clone this repository and import it into your project.

You'll also need to install the DOE-2 command line program (separately from eQUEST). For more information, visit http://www.doe2.com/

This package assumes that the user has installed the DOE-2 command line program has been installed in C:\DOE2.

Usage example:

from eqinp.inp import Inp import eqparse # use eqparse module for loading results (github.com/michaelsweeney/eqparse)

weather_file = 'TMY3/PA_Philadelphia_Internati.bin'

mybldg = Inp('path_to_my_bldg.inp', weather_file)

mybldg_rotated = mybldg.makeparm('rotation_90_deg', [{ 'kind': 'object', 'bdlobjname': 'Building Data', 'paramname': 'AZIMUTH', 'val': 90 }]) # makeparm provides functionality for modifying the input file

mybldg_rotated.run() # runs command line prompt

mybldg_rotated_results = eqparse.LoadSim(mybldg_rotated.getsimfile()) # use in tandem with eqparse for results print (mybldg_rotated_results.sim.beps())
