[esp-r] Re: New file formats - tagged - some documentation

[Jon Hand]

I attach below a commented version of the version 1.1 geometry file of ESP-r. I
have marked on it sections which are not-yet-implemented and those sections
that appear in the file but are not-yet-used.

What will happen soon is enabling long names for multilayer constructions
and optical properties databases so that users can begin to use the longer
names allowable in the geometry file.

Once this is in place the can be a move to tagged data for zone constructions.

Subject: [esp-r]  New file formats - tagged

Hi all:
I keep seeing bits of information on the list about new file formats that involve a more flexible tagging structure.
I am presently batch generating and simulating approximately 17,000 houses through ESP-r. I use templates and either add or replace lines to be representative of each individual house.

My question is: has anyone begun to document their new “tagged” format changes similar to the old “Data Model Summary (2001)”?
Obviously the cfg is now tagged.
Specifically, I have seen reference to the geo file being tagged, and perhaps the con file and certain databases being tagged?

Using the preferences->upgrade_files command I could only update the geo file.

There are presently some real drawbacks in the present file structure, such as fixed spacing.

Thanks
