[Octopus + HB EUI] Issue Connecting HB End Use Intensity to Octopus"

:wave: Hello everyone,

I am currently working on an optimization study using Octopus in Grasshopper to analyze how two parameters affect EUI (End Use Intensity) values. However, I am facing an issue when trying to connect the End Uses output from HB End Use Intensity to Octopus.

:small_blue_diamond: System Information:

  • Rhino 7
  • Grasshopper
  • Ladybug & Honeybee (Latest Version)
  • Octopus (Latest Version)

:small_blue_diamond: What I am trying to do:
I am using Octopus to optimize two parameters and analyze their impact on EUI values. To do this, I need to extract numerical results from HB End Use Intensity, particularly the End Uses output, and use them as fitness values in Octopus.

However, when I try to connect the End Uses output to Octopus, I encounter an error, and the values do not seem to be processed correctly.

:small_blue_diamond: Specific Questions:

  1. How can I properly connect HB End Use Intensity outputs to Octopus for optimization?
  2. If the End Uses output is not in the correct format, how should I process it to make it usable as an Octopus fitness value?

Best
Juhyung Lee
