Rooms sizing and control parameters API

Post by lutinfr »

I'm trying to research the automation of sizing and simulation in VE via Python scripts, I have read VEpython help and see that it's possible running simulation with modification of simulation dialog, but for sizing, something missing here, all I have found are below:

For running simulation:
run_simulation( queueToTasks = False )
This can be controled via: set_options( {options} ) -> Boolean to change anything in the dictionary (details are in the link at the end)

This is enough for control almost parameters of hourly simulation.

But for system sizing, it seems having very little control
These are only:

1. set_hvac_network(network_name): of course to set name of the HVAC network.
2. run_loads_sizing() : this is for HVAC SYSTEM sizing.

So where is the command to run HVAC ROOMS sizing ? (because this is oblige before running system sizing )
And where is commnand like "set_options( {options} )" above to change the sizing dialog setting ?

More detail I have found from here:

Thanks for looking into this issue

Room sizing sims are not currently supported by the API.

It's on the list for consideration but I can't give a specific timeline at the moment.
