Parametric - enables users to create and batch run a series of Apache simulations. Provides a mechanism for making individual parameter changes prior to simulation.
This section provides an overview of the ApacheSim based tool Parametric which enables users to create and batch run a series of Apache simulations, without the need for manual parameter changes (e.g. weather files, HVAC or internal gains etc.).
In addition to providing a simple batch queue mode, the tool allows a single parameter to be changed before running the Apache simulation. This extra mechanism enables the user to perform simple parametric studies on the same base model.
This section will enhance the user’s capability to exploit the parametric tool by detailing the functionality through a series of steps.
