WeatherFile

Post by akrania »

I have been trying to find a way to check and change the weather file through scripting.
But unfortunately from the resources, that are provided by IES, I can only read variables such as min/max temp, cloud cover etc.
Does anyone know how to actually change the WeatherFile?

Thanks a lot in advanvce!

(I will keep investigating it and update you should I have any news)

You can only use the WeatherFileReader to read, not to write.

Hello Rhind,

That hardly answers the question.

There are other choices like:
open_wea_data(), GET/SET methods etc. plus there are template scripts to show /change specific conditions.

And I am currently working on a work around.

Thanks!
