coverting ism file from *.osm (Openstudio model)

[miwamasa]

Hi, Thank you for sharing your ISO modeling code with rest of us.

I once played around the OpenStudio's own ISO simulation code(runIso.rb,osm2ism.rb,...)

It seems they have stoped developing ISO related functions. So, I am going to switch to your simulator.
NREL/OpenStudio#2345

But, the ism file which I have transtrated from *.osm using original "osm2ism.rb" does not work with your isomodel_standalone simulation.

It seems there are two versions of *.ism. V1 is original ism format and v2 is the new one.
(SmallOffice_v1.ism, SmallOffice_v2.ism in the test_data are the examples)

I can manually modify v1 output to v2 by looking at the error code of isomodel_standalone.
Is this the only way to convert *.osm to *.ism for the time beeing?

Thank you for your effort.

My guess is that,

• NREL has abandoned isomodel measures.
• There are no official way to convert *.osm to *.ism. It is out of this project's scope.
• The only reasonable presentation is to put v1 and v2 version of the same model.
• Then let the users think how to convert it manually.

Wise choice.

Actually, Argonne created the ISOmodel code within OpenStudio and was helping deal with issues. Because of some staffing limitations, we have not yet got around to integrating the updated version here on Github that has hourly and monthly and a new file format into the OpenStudio code base.

I'm hoping over the summer to get someone to help us with that update.

We do not have a script file to automatically convert from v1 .osm to v2 .ism but I think creating that would be a good idea. If you get to it before we get to it, I'd be happy to add it to the github repository and include it in the OpenStudio updates.

I didn't know about the issue you had opened at OpenStudio github site. Normally NREL tells me about these things.
