how ca i import an HVAC file to apachesim?
the HVAC check box in apachesim always is off!

you got a license for Apache-HVAC?
If you don't have the detailed HVAC license you won't get the option.

If you do... then you have to create a H,VAC network first.

Click on the Apache-HVAC button on your application list.
Select a basic system from the wizard.
Select a room from the drop-list (any room in your model).
click OK
Click Save (give it a name "system.asp" and save next to the model file)
Move back to Apache
You should see "system.asp" in the drop list in ApacheSim now.


Zap.

thanks for answering
I did it all, but the drop list didn't appear, it wrote 'no hvac files'
why?!

you need to save the *.asp file in your project folder (look in the folder and it should be beside the *.mit file etc. When you run an Apache Simulation and tick that link it will only look in the current project for HVAC files.

The *asp file is created when you save the HVAC system in ApacheHVAC application.

If you do have a network in there then it could be a licence problem, Help >> Licence Control and Check Usage to see if you have a licence for ApacheHVAC.

hmmm.... is this a standard windows machine?

ASP files are identified as an active server page when you try to email and are stopped by servers... so perhaps your system is blocking them being saved?

Can you see them in you open a windows explorer?
