Writing IDF files without running them

Dear LBT Developers,

My team is trying to use LBT 1.5.0 to generate a large number of IDF files to be simulated on our university high performance computing platform. But, as far as I see, HB does not offer the possibility anymore to write IDF files without running the models with HB Model To OSM.

I wonder if there is any possibility that I am missing to write IDF files without running them?
If not, this could disappoint a number of advance users.

All the best,
Farhang

Brilliant! Thanks @AbrahamYezioro. I knew LBT never disappoints!

Hi there,
and would it be possible to change the name of the idf file from in.idf to something else? assuming we are using Colibri for the creation of the IDFs

I’m not sure that’s possible, but you could always write the in.idf files to a new folder that is named according to each model option.
