    Opening DGN files

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Energy Simulator
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Environment: N/A
      Area: General Information
      Subarea: N/A

    Overview

    Designs in OpenBuildings Energy Simulator are saved as DGN files within your Workset folder. However, double-clicking on these DGN's will not open the project in OpenBuildings Energy Simulator.

    Method

    This is because DGN's are file types associated with OpenBuildings Designer - double clicking on the DGN will open the graphical part of your project only within OpenBuildings Designer. This can be easily distinguished by examining the Ribbon Bar.
