How to create .rvi files in EP?

Hi all! I have read all the questions about .rvi files, but none respond how to create .rvi files in E+. I read the I-O reference and I dont understand how create it. I need it for extract Zone Operative Temperature for using in variables of JEPlus. Thank you in advance!

Hi, I suppose that you have read these instructions: https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/doc.... You can use any text editor to create the file, paste in the following and save it in the jEPlus project folder:

eplusout.eso
eplusout.csv
Zone Operative Temperature
0

Makes sure that you include Zone Operative temperature as a report variable at the desired frequency in the IDF file. And, in jEPlus, select the same frequency for the RVI object. The relevant manual for jEPlus is here: https://www.jeplus.org/wiki/doku.php?...

Hi Yi! Thanks a lot for your answer. Yes, I yestarday finally did what you said me. But no .csv files was generated with the format to create a ReportVars (and then to create an objetive). If you can explain me how to make the next step with this procedurement I would appreciate. In any case I could make the .csv file to create a objetive with python script, it was easier. Thank you!

Yes, I think that you may be better off using Python script to process operative temperature, as you are likely needing it after extracting with RVI anyway.
