This guide explains how to access the raw simulation results

Refer to https://github.com/NREL/buildstockbatch/wiki/Output-directory-and-files for simulation output directory structure.

Step 1

Navigate to the your output directory. For example:

cd /projects/rescore/ev_shape/national_test_nov15

Step 2

Navigate to simulation_output folder

cd results/simulation_output

ls

You should see a list of simulations_jobxx.tar.gz as shown below:

Step 3

Decide which of the result file you want to extract and do:

tar xvzf simulations_job10.tar.gz

It will start extracting the raw simulation results into folders like up00, up01 etc depending upon which simulations are present in the job.

WARGNING: Depending upon the size of run, the tar file can be very large, and the extraction process can take too long and use too much space. So, this is only advisable for small runs (say, less than 10K samples). If you need to extract files from a larger run, it's better to extract only the building you care about. You can follow the techniques outlined in: https://github.com/NREL/buildstockbatch/wiki/Simulation-Troubleshooting to extract the results from a particular building.

Step 4

Navigate into the upgrade folder

cd up00

ls

You should see a list of buildings.

Step 5

Pick a building and access it's raw output files, including the hpxml file.
