We are trying to change the ZoneCapacitanceMultiplier:ResearchSpecial for an energy model to test thermal mass. However, we are not sure how to proceed. We tried a couple of things a failed:
How would we add this information to the additionalStrings_ on the HB run energy simulation?
-We can change the values on the idf editor and we can read the results from it, However we are tying to make a parametric model and this manual step is not ideal.
You should be able to add a ZoneCapacitanceMultiplier:ResearchSpecial object with additionalStrings_. This example file shows you how to format the strings to add them to the IDF (although the example is adding an evaporative cooling tower instead of your capacitance multiplier):
