Trouble getting output from idf.run() #262

Open apigott opened 5 years ago

apigott commented 5 years ago

When I try idf.run() with ExampleFiles/BasicsFiles/Excercise1A.idf there doesn't seem to be an output with energy use data. My understanding is that it should be in an eplusout.sql or similar but that file isn't generated.

I have a .audit, .bnd, .dxf, .eio, .end, .err, .eso, .mdd, .mtd, .mtr, .rdd, .shd. Is there an option that I need to turn on in the idf to get the sql output?

This tutorial (https://pythonhosted.org/eppy/Outputs_Tutorial.html) shows how to read an html output which is taken from the EPlus application examples but not how to generate that html file.

Do you have an output variables set in the IDF? Documentation on what to add is available here.
