Hi, is there any method of EnergyPlusPlugin which is called by E+ before the simulation terminates? Generally, is there any way the plugin instance can recognize the simulation is done?
Why am I asking? I want to correctly dispose resources (=socket) created in the EnergyPlusPlugin instance.
I suggest running the API in Library Mode, that way you have a script that calls a function that runs the simulation, and after that function call you can call whatever other function to dispose resources. You could call delete_state, which frees the memory, after your simulation completes, but I think this may happen automatically (?) at the end of a simulation.
import EnergyPlusAPI as eplus_api
eplus_api.runtime.run_energyplus(state)
clear_resources()
Thank you. The point is we already have quite complex solution using plugin mode. So I am trying to investigate solution with plugin first.
So. After waiting a while my conclusion is: There is no way to recognize the simulation is done in the Python Plugin mode.
