Hi all,

In dynamic simulation, does anyone know if it's at all possible to include a variable that refers to the hour prior to the hour that I'm assessing? For example, I want to set up a profile formula that controls the windows opening based on the temperature not in the hour currently, but in ...

Hello,

could someone please help me understand how I might input the data of an Apache System?
I'm modeling (dynamic simulation) a detached residential house. I'm interested in annual energy, but hourly indoor temperature.

1) I have a gas boiler which I know has an AFUE (annual fuel utilization ...

Hello all,
sorry this question is a bit similar to an existing thread but since this question does not concern importing, so I thought I should start the thread anew....very sorry about this if I've violated any posting rules.... :?

Anyway, I just want to confirm with you all what I understood ...

Hello,

I'm doing ApacheSim; and I've selected the breakdown of the conduction gains in output options. My question is, is there an overlap between "solar gain" and "conduction gain-external glazing"?

because in the manual/documentation provided by IES, it says "solar gain: solar radiation ...

You shouldn't be losing any data when you upgrade a model, there must be some reason this happened.

When you upgrade a model it will offer to Rebuild adjacencies as part of the upgrade so it may have been at this point that you lost geometry but I don't think the VE would damage a good model so it ...

Not within VE no, you'd have to set them up manually and use the Batch facility to queue up the simulations.

You could consider a 3rd party tool for this but it could get quite expensive. Our QA team use Test Complete to automate testing, this records interactions with the software and creates ...

Thank you all for your help!

my department has now updated their IES, but the newest version is 6.4.0.8!!!!! I have 6.4.0.7 on my own laptop. when I open my 0.7 version file in 0.8 IES, it DOES open, but some geometries are LOST, so, just a word of caution here for anyone trying to do this....

HI Phil,

thanks for the reply. Yes, I did use Batch simulation, but still I had to manually change each parameter, is there any script writing capabilities within IES that I can make IES do this by itself?

thanks.

Hi all,

I have a file created on my own computer with a student license of IES-VE 6.4.0.7 and I tried to open this file on my school computer with a license of IES-VE 6.4, and I got an error message "unsupported file or format, the selected file requires <VE> 6.4.0.7 or higher to open". I was ...
