exporting a weather file?

[anthony75]

Hi

Does anyone know if it's possible to export the a weather file in a format other than a .fwt file?
I need to get it out as ASCII text with CSV.
I am trying to compare results with a TRNSYS model to try to work out some anomalies and the weather file is the most obvious issue at the moment,
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Anthony

As I know, there is no way to convert .ftw file, but you can use same .epw weather data for both IES and TRNSYS.
Also, ecotect or designbuilder free trial can convert some kind of weather file. So I'm sure you will have same weather file for testing on both.

After this test, could you show the result, I'm curious to see comparison between IES and TRNSYS.

err... hate to point out the elephant in the middle of the room...

In VE-Vista:
1) Select weather variables
2) Bring Up data table
3) Copy
4) Open Excel
5) Paste

I'd also doubt that the weather is major player in the differences in results. Completely different programs.

Two file formats can be read in IES: *.FWT and *.EPW weather file. When I use Vista Pro, I opened *.EPW file but can't Export boundary conditions ( be hidened ) to run Microflo. And don't show Macroflo arrows.

I hope anyone help me to do this problem !
