[esp-r] Re: problem with the addition of its own code in the Fortran programming language

[Jon Hand]

Achim had some good comments.  Some background that you might consider...

For more than a decade ESRU has welcomed researchers who wish to extend
the facilities of ESP-r.  Typically we do this by either joint research projects or
via researchers visiting ESRU and discussing their work and staff giving a bit
of ad-hoc support. Some people even end up doing PhDs here.

There is a developers guide which provides some advise on coding standards
and there is a development community who often help each other and there
is a strong element of testing and code documentation which ensures that
new facilities/code does not break existing code and/or models.  

And, given that ESP-r includes around 2 million lines of code learning to work with it
requires considerable commitment.  And there is an expectation of a certain
level of computer language skills involved. If you are serious then it might be
useful to get you and your management/supervisor discussing with others in
the development community.  And you project might require that you join
the development community with your own source code branch.

A first step is to clearly describe your goals.  It might be that there is already
a way to accomplish your goals with little or no coding interventions.  ESP-r
is a simulation environment in which there are many possible approaches to
building and system assessment tasks.

Also, your email has a name but no contact information or affiliations. Tell
us more about your work and your group/company!

Subject: [esp-r] problem with the addition of its own code in the Fortran programming language

Dear All,

I have been worked in ESP-r for almost two years. I prepared a couple of
projects and now i need to do a new things connected with ESP-r.

Before start, please comprehend, that i have little experience with coding.
I am working on a new technology of building heating and cooling. I have
already got the preliminary results of the numerical simulation in Abaqus
software. But an indispensable thing in the future work is ability to use
this in faster way. Therefore I need your support, because i am wondering
how to implementation in the ESP-r source code my part.

Could you write some precious advices? For example: how best to begin?
Expect to add in the FORTRAN programming language, simple warm loads
corresponding to the new technology of heating and cooling buildings.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated; i have been wondering on
this concept for weeks and do not see the solution.

Best regards,
Romana Antczak
