| Problem: | Extensible fields not expanding automatically in IDD for WINDOWSHADINGCONTROL |
|---|---|
| Solution: | fixed how Extensible fields were identified |
eppy was using the presence of an integer in the extensible field to identify it as extensible. Some non-extensible fields have integers in them. Now eppy identifies the Extensible field by key-words such as begin-extensible
| Problem: | pytest running on old IDD version 8.0.0 |
|---|---|
| Solution: | pytest now running on version 9.4.0 |
| Problem: | need CI for eppy |
|---|---|
| Solution: | Use github actions for CI |
| Problem: | readthedocs.org needs a .readthedocs.yaml |
|---|---|
| Solution: | added a .readthedocs.yaml file |
| Problem: | eppy run functions does not throw an exception if weather file is missing |
|---|---|
| Solution: | eppy run function throws Exception "EnergyPlusRunError" with message saying weather file missing |
| Problem: | eppy.newidf(version=None) does not work correctly |
|---|---|
| Solution: | There are starting conditions here:
|
| Problem: | need a IDF.resetidd() function during testing |
|---|---|
| Solution: | IDF.resetidd() will reset all related idd values modified: eppy/modeleditor.py modified: tests/test_runner.py |
fixed issue #407
| Problem: | idf.run() is broken on windows after fix of issue # 403 |
|---|---|
| Solution: | fixed idf.run() on windows |
| Problem: | idf.run() does not run if there is no idf filename |
|---|---|
| Solution: | fixed, so idf.run() works with no filename |
| Problem: | need a function to copy the entire idf |
|---|---|
| Solution: | IDF.copyidf() does this |
| Problem: |
|---|
- idf.run() obfuscates the filename while running the simulation
- makes it hard to know which file is running in distributed system like zeppy
| Solution: | add the filename as a suffix to the obfuscated name |
|---|
| Problem: | idf.run() does a saveas("in.idf") and does NOT go back to original name |
|---|---|
| Solution: | do saveas("ranmdomname.idf") and go back to original name |
| Problem: | documentation "Running EnergyPlus from Eppy" needs updating |
|---|---|
| Solution: | Updated |
| Problem: | runIDFs is hard to debug since temporary files are deleted |
|---|---|
| Solution: | runIDFs( ... , debug=True) will retain those files |
issues #395, #393, #291 fixes the following problem
| Problem: | eppy reads IDD file at the start of a script and uses it to understand the structure of the IDF file.
|
|---|---|
| Solution: | fixing issues #395, #393, #291 allows eppy to work without updating the IDD file. Eppy will automatically extend the extensible fields from the IDD when the IDF file has more fields than the IDD file. This modification is done in the memory of eppy and the original IDD file on disk is not touched. |
| Problem: | dunder of setattr, getattr, setitem, getitem fail for an extensible field that is not in the IDD |
|---|---|
| Solution: | updated the dunders to extend the fields in IDD that is in eppy's memory |
dunder = double underscore such as __setattr__
| Problem: | idf.newidfobject() will not work if you make it with more extensible fields than there are in the IDD |
|---|---|
| Solution: | Increase the extensible fields of the IDD (in memory of eppy) to match the fields in idf.newidfobject() |
| Problem: | In idf.newidfobject(self, key, aname="", ... **kwargs), aname is depreceated |
|---|---|
| Solution: | remove aname form newidfobject |
| Problem: | If the IDF files has more extensible fields than the IDD file for an idfobject, the read will fail |
|---|---|
| Solution: | Increase the extensible fields of the IDD (in memory) to match the IDF file. It will not change the Energy+.idd on the disk. |
| Problem: | surface.area (for Building:Surface:Detailed) does not work when first 3 points are linear and numpy is installed. |
|---|---|
| Solution: | This is because numpy does not throw a ZeroDivisionError but raises a RuntimeWarning. Ensure that a ZeroDivisionError is raised in geometry.surface.unit_normal |
| Problem: | surface.area (for Building:Surface:Detailed) does not work when first 3 points are linear |
|---|---|
| Solution: | Try the other points until you hit 3 non-linear points. Area will be calculated if any points are non-linear |
Problem: docstrings in modeleditor.py ask for of ALL_CAPS. Solution: eppy no longer needs ALL_CAPS keys. Removed ALL_CAPS from docstrings
Problem: DeprecationWarning: Using or importing the ABCs from 'collections' Solution: import from 'collections.abc'
Introduce Silent Verbose Mode (Issue #364)
Add function to remove all IDF object of a certain type
Use imap when processing generator-created jobs in runIDFs
Use output_prefix to determine error filename
fixed problem: idf.run does not restore sys.stderr properly
Correctly check if multiprocessing is supported
made idd path absolute
| Problem: | idf = IDF(fname) will fail if isinstance(fname, filepath.Path) |
|---|---|
| Solution: | update code to read filepath.Path |
| Problem: | idf.save uses relative path. if the dir is changed, it can save in the wrong place |
|---|---|
| Solution: | use absolute path in idf.save |
fixed a typo in this file (HISTORY.rst)
- fixed issue #324
Problem
- The EnergyPlus objects can have legal names in the following format Special glass <thickness is 3mm>
- Energyplus itself has no problems with such names
- This name turns up in the HTML output file.
- In the HTML file the part name`<thickness is 3mm>` looks like an HTML tag.
- The browser tries to make sense of it and fix it so that something can be displayed
- This results in a mangled name in the HTML file as viewed in the browser
Solution
- Ideally this has to be fixed in Energyplus
- eppy has a stop gap fix
- eppy will ignore any tag within a cell of a table
- fixed issue #320
- Problem: eppy.results.readhtml is very slow. Write similar function using generators
- Solution: functions in eppy.fasthtml use lazy evaluation to get the tables quickly. This has been documented in user documentation in "Reading outputs from E+" and in "New functions"
- fixed issue #302
- Problem: no documentation for multiprocessing runs
- Solution: added documentation for multiprocessing runs in ./docs/runningeplus.ipynb
- Partial fix for #287 (deprecate python2)
- removed six in most places
- removed python2 in .travis.yml
- removed python2 in appveyor.yml
- fixed issue #291
- used cookiecutter template for eppy
- from https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter

- fixed issue #289
- Problem: E+ is unable to read numbers that are wider than 19 digits
- Solution: format these numbers in scientific notation
- fixed issue #281
- Problem: pytest failing in python 2
- Solution: Set the correct version numbers in the requirements.txt file
- fixed issue # 283
- surface.azimuth calculates the azimuth from the surface coordinates
- surface.true_azimuth also include the effecto building azimuth ans zone azimuth
- fixed issue #245
- Error handling errors in python 3
- fixed issue #254
- when running a simulation:
- Add expandobjects flag if any HVACTemplate objects are present in IDF
- fixed issue #251
- Run black on the whole codebase.
- Added black --check . to the Travis config for Python 3.7 on linux for master and non-master branches, to fail if formatting inconsistencies are found.
- updated version number in setup.py
- Fixed an installation bug
- issue # 247
- Allows mixed cases for specifying objects:
- issue # 242
the code now works in the following way:
# you can use: objs = idf.idfobjects['ElectricEquipment'] # instead of objs = idf.idfobjects['ElectricEquipment'.upper()]
- Fixes the TypeError
- 'TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "dict_keys") to list' is fixed
- issue # 113, # 239
- fixed issue # 238
- Problem: if the IDF object has more fileds than that in the IDD file, eppy will truncate the object and will give no warning.
- Solution: eppy should throw an exception to warn the user that the IDF file is not readable without changing the IDD file.
- The exception message will the text that has to be added to the IDD file, so that it works correctly.
- idf = eppy.openidf(fname) will set idd and open the file
- issue # 231
- idf = eppy.newidf(version="8.5") will open a blank idf file
- issue # 231
- fanpower.bhp2pascal(bhp, cfm, fan_tot_eff)
- issue # 228
- fanpower.watts2pascal(watts, cfm, fan_tot_eff)
- issue # 228
- updated useful_scripts/idfdiff.py to make the IDD file optional
- issue # 225
- idf.copyidfobject() returns the copied object
- issue # 223
- easyopen.easyopen gives more explicit error message when idd file is not found
- issue # 224
- using cookiecuter <https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage> in eppy
- fixed bug in idf.run()
- the bug resulted in the working directory changing if the run was done with an invalid idf
- fixed bug in useful_scripts/idfdiff.py
- idf.newidfobject() has a parameter defaultvlaues=True or False. This can be toggled to set or not set the default values in the IDF file
- fixed a bug, where some idfobject fields stayed as strings even though they were supposed to be numbers
- new function easyopen(idffile) will automatically set the IDD file and open the IDF file. This has been documented in ./docs/source/newfunctions.rst
- Added documentation in the installation section on how to run eppy in grasshopper
- added functions to get fan power in watts, bhp and fan flow in cfm for any fan object. This has been documented in ./docs/source/newfunctions.rst
- documentation is now at http://eppy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
- fixed a bug in the setup.py (It was not installing some required folders)
- updated documentation to include how to run Energyplus from eppy
- format of the table file was changed in E+ 8.7.
- readhtml is updated to be able to read the new format (it still reads the older versions)
- IDF.run() works with E+ version >= 8.3
- This will run the idf file
- documentation updated to reflect this
- Some changes made to support eppy working on grasshopper
- more work needs to be done on this
fixed the bug in the setup file
bugfix for idfobjects with no fieldnames. Such fields are named A!, A2, A3/ N1, N2, N3 taken from the IDD file
There is a bug in the setup.py in this version
It is now possible to run E+ from eppy
bugfix in loopdiagram.py. Some cleanup by removing extra copies of loopdiagram.py
This is a release for python2 and python3. pip install will automatically install the correct version.
bugfix so that json_functions can have idf objects with names that have dots in them
tab completion of fileds (of idfobjects) works in ipython and ipython notebook
added:
- construction.rfactor and material.rfactor
- construction.uvalue and material.uvalue
- construction.heatcapacity and material.heatcapacity
- the above functions do not work in all cases yet. But are still usefull
added:
- zone.zonesurfaces -> return all surfaces of the zone
- surface.subsurfaces -> will return all the subsurfaces (windows, doors etc.) that belong to the surface
added two functions that scan through the entire idf file:
- EpBunch.getreferingobjs(args)
- EpBunch.get_referenced_object(args)
- they make it possible for an idf object to scan through it's idf file and find other idf objects that are related to it (thru object-list and reference)
refactored code for class IDF and class EpBunch fixed a bug in modeleditor.newidfobject
added ability to update idf files thru JSON messages.
Replaced library bunch with munch
- bug fix -> read files that have mixed line endings. Both DOS and Unix line endings
- python3 version of eppy is in ./p3/eppy
- eppy license has transitioned from GPLv3 to MIT license
- made some bugfixes to hvacbuilder.py
- bugfix in ./eppy/Air:useful_scripts/idfdiff.py
- added in ./eppy/Air:useful_scripts/idfdiff_missing.py
- this displays only the missing objects in either file
- idf.saveas(newname) changes the idf.idfname to newname
- so the next idf.save() will save to newname
- to retain the original idf.idfname use idf.savecopy(copyname)
updated the following: - idf.save(lineendings='default') - idf.saveas(fname, lineendings='default')
- optional argument lineendings
- if lineendings='default', uses the line endings of the platform
- if lineendings='windows', forces windows line endings
- if lineendings='unix', forces unix line endings
r0.464a released on 2015-01-13. This in alpha release of this version. There may be minor updates after review from users.
- Developer documentation has been completed
- Added a stubs folder with scripts that can be used as templates
- fixed a bug in script eppy/useful_scripts/loopdiagram.py
added a script eppy/useful_scripts/loopdiagram.py:
python loopdiagram.py --help usage: loopdiagram.py [-h] idd file draw all the loops in the idf file There are two output files saved in the same location as the idf file: - idf_file_location/idf_filename.dot - idf_file_location/idf_filename.png positional arguments: idd location of idd file = ./somewhere/eplusv8-0-1.idd file location of idf file = ./somewhere/f1.idf optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit
fixed a bug in hvacbuilder.makeplantloop and hvacbuilder.makecondenserloop
- added eppy/useful_scripts/eppy_version.py
- updated documentation to match
- added a script that can compare two idf files. It is documented in "Useful Scripts". The script is in
- eppy/usefull_scripts/idfdiff.py
- added two scripts that test if eppy works when new versions of energyplus are released. Documentation for this is not yet done. The scripts are
- eppy/usefull_scripts/eppyreadtest_file.py
- eppy/usefull_scripts/eppyreadtest_folder.py
- fixed a bug where eppy would not read backslashes in a path name. Some idf objects have fields that are path names. On dos/windows machines these path names have backslashes
