OpenStudio CLI with Radiance

radiance
openstudio-cli

Can the Radiance measure be used with OS 2.2.0 CLI (running on Ubuntu)?

The documentation says it applies measures "OpenStudio Measures to an OpenStudio Model and runs an EnergyPlus simulation"

UPDATE: I have a working version of a parametric runs program using the CLI, but, when I call openstudio from Python (subprocess.call), I have to use absolute file paths in the OSW (seed, weather, measure subdirectory) or else it doesn't find anything. If I use absolute file directories it works fine, but then the output measure subdirectory with the results mimics the absolute file path which, for me, is quite long.

Not sure if this is a OS-Radiance question or a Python question.

Yes, I used the CLI in testing the measure a couple of releases ago; it should still work.

Interesting. I'll need to look into this. Maybe do parametrics this way instead of the PAT. (i.e. spreadsheet to json to python subprocess)

That sounds like a plan! Please report back your experience.

Did this work? I am having trouble on windows.

@bobw I think I did try it and it worked, but on Linux.
