I have noticed that many of the scripts use the C:\ shell, but I have a couple of problems to advance in that path.<br>First, I don't know how to run the software's commands, is there any document with the methods or an API guide? for example if I want to create a zone, how do I call that method from inside the shell? <br>The other question regards the possibility to write longer code, for example: create a zone, then 10 windows, assign material, etc... all in one block. I think this should be done in Perl (or Python) but I don't know how to run it and connected to ESP-r methods.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Thanks again,</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Victor</p> <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 8:40 PM, Aizaz Samuel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aizaz.a.samuel@strath.ac.uk">aizaz.a.samuel@strath.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Some instances where scripts have been used in the past:<br> 1. ESP-r modelling of domestic heating systems (ADEPT2 available from<br> <a href="http://sesg.strath.ac.uk" target="_blank">sesg.strath.ac.uk</a>) has scripts that simulate and list the results into csv<br> files that are readable by spreadsheet macros.<br> 2. Simulation of test models that simulate and write out results in pdf<br> format. These are used for running comparison tests periodically and writing<br> out a nicely formatted report.<br> 3.
