EnergyPlus and Genopt: problems with RunEPlus.bat

[Valentina Monetti]

Dear alls,
I would like to ask for some help with genopt. I am trying to run genopt but it seems to be some problems with the bat files of EnergyPlus. I am using version 7 of energyplus. The cfg folder is in :C\\ and the genopt file are in a folder in the desktop.
When i try to lauch the simulation in genopt i get this message:

Assigning 4 threads for simulations.
Generation 1.
Skipping evaluation of simulation 5 because of previous simulation error.
Skipping evaluation of simulation 6 because of previous simulation error.

GenOpt terminated with error.
See logfile for further information.

Does anyone know how to solve it?
Thank you in advance,
kind regards,

Hi,

I guess, you should correct the EnergyPlus path in cfg file. 

But to detect the problem, ini file, Command file, the template idf file, and cfg file are needed.

Dear all,

 I am sorry to writing you again. I think I have now solved the problems with the “ in the cfg file. However I have a new problems with EnergyPlus as when Genopt launch the simulation, it doesn’t found the weather file in the temporary folder created for each run.

Here is the error:

Assigning 4 threads for simulations.

Generation 1.

Skipping evaluation of simulation 5 because of previous simulation error.

Skipping evaluation of simulation 6 because of previous simulation error.

Skipping evaluation of simulation 7 because of previous simulation error.

Skipping evaluation of simulation 15 because of previous simulation error.

Skipping evaluation of simulation 16 because of previous simulation error.

genopt.lang.OptimizerException:

GenOpt terminated with error.

See logfile for further information.

To me it seems to have some problems with the path of the weather file, but I have no idea how to fix it.

I attach the folder where I put all the genopt files and the cfg file too.

Thank you again,

Hi,

Before testing the files, I would say put the weather file in the weather files folder under EnergyPlus installation folder. It may solve it. If not, I find some time to check the files.

Best,

Farhang
