IES-VE User Forum

Hi there,
I've been to trying to run batch simulation in Parametric Tool. I defined one parameter and couple of variables in Element and followed the instructions in the User Guide but I hasn't been successful yet. I keep receiving this message in the output log of Parametric:
...iles (x86)\IES\VE 2017\apps\hone\packages\batch\init.lua:427: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Yahya

Yahya,

When you are in Elements, after you have defined your rules and variables, do you click both the green arrow and the save button? After doing that, if there a little colored block next to each Rule that are any color other than green? I find that if it's blue, it hasn't been saved properly, and if it's red, something went wrong and the code wasn't written.

I have the same issue as Yahya. Result from running Parametric tool:

BBrannon - in Elements I defined rules and variables, clicked the green arrow and saved - the little coloured box next the the Rule was coloured green. So it appears this is not the issue. In the Parametric Tool it appears to 'Import parameters and variables' ok.

Was just trying a simple test with Rule 'Room Air Exchange - Infiltration Rate' - here is the code generated (indents not shown):


DesignParameters {

-- Room Air Exchange - Infiltration Rate
--
Parameter {
name = 'RoomInfiltrationRate',
parameter = RoomInfiltrationRate {
scale = TARGET,
ids = {
'SP000001', -- Space
'SP000000', -- Space
'SP000002', -- Space
}
},
range = Range { lower = 0, upper = 1, number_simulations = 3 }
},
