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

    Overview

    IDF files are used by Energy Plus to process dynamic simulations. This article details how to obtain the IDF file from OpenBuildings.

    Method

    An IDF file can be obtained be obtained upon running a Dynamic Simulation in OpenBuildings Energy Simulator.

    This file will be generated automatically and can be obtained from the projects Workset folder, within the Output > Results > Simulation folder:

    If you are unsure of your project / Workset location please see here.
