Can I just output the successful run results in param runing? about eplusr HOT 8 CLOSED

How can I get the other successful running models' results?

Yes, you can specify which job(s) you would like to export data from.
For details, please see the documention of ParametricJob.

elec0$report_data(which = c(1,3,5,6), name = "Electricity:Facility")

Or are there any way to export which pairs unsuccessful?

Currently, there is no method in ParametricJob class to do this. I am considering to add a method to export detailed job info in ParametricJob class in next release.

If you want to know which model and weather pairs failed to complete, you may manually extract the job data called m_job stored in the private environment of the ParametricJob object using function eplusr:::._get_private():

eplusr:::._get_private(elec0)$m_job

Basically, m_job is a data.table returned from run_multi() which is called when running parametric models. You can find if the model is successfully simulated or not by the value of the exit_status column.

So if you want to get the info for failed models, you can do:

m_job[exit_status != 0L]

However, this is not the recommended way. I would suggest to first check the .err file for those bad models.

ele0$errors(c(2,4,7,8))

After knowing the problem, you can modify your measure accordingly.

Thanks for your response!

I tested the suggestion you listed and decided to use:
eplusr:::._get_private(param)$m_job[exit_status != 0L]
to extract the unsuccessful runs.

But when I tried the
param$errors(c(2,4,7,8))

but it only showed:

Error: Some of jobs completed unsuccessfully:
2|UNSUCCESSFUL --> [IDF]set_parameters_2.idf + [EPW]IA_DES-MOINES-IAP_725460_10.epw
4|UNSUCCESSFUL --> [IDF]set_parameters_4.idf + [EPW]IA_DES-MOINES-IAP_725460_10.epw
7|UNSUCCESSFUL --> [IDF]set_parameters_7.idf + [EPW]IA_DES-MOINES-IAP_725460_10.epw
8|UNSUCCESSFUL --> [IDF]set_parameters_8.idf + [EPW]IA_DES-MOINES-IAP_725460_10.epw

I cannot see the details of errors.

It turns out that if EnergyPlus returns a non-zero, it means that the simulation cannot even start. So that’s why I decided to stop extracting any info from the err file when I designed the feature.

I would suggest to use elec0$output_dir(open=TRUE) to open the output folder and check each err file to find out the real problem.

Please tell me if the err file explains the problem. If so, I will consider to continue to parse the err file even EnergyPlus ended unsuccessfully.

from eplusr.

Error in param$output_dir(open = TRUE) : unused argument (open = TRUE)

it shows this.

from eplusr.

Sorry, there should be no open argument. Please try directly go to the output dir and check the err file of each model that failed to run.

from eplusr.

Yes, it shows the problem as the normal err files.

Thanks for your help.

from eplusr.

Thanks for this info!

Then this means that I should change the logic of determining when to stop parsing err files. I will work on that tomorrow.

Besides, I think currently ParametricJob class is not so friendly to use. Any suggestions for improving will be much appreciated.

@yatingchen, please check out the develop version. Now $errors() should work for unsuccessful jobs.
