Detailed Description

Model derives from Workspace and is a container for ModelObjects as defined by the OpenStudio IDD.

The OpenStudio Model is primarily a container for ModelObjects which together define a complete or partial model of a building for energy simulation. A ModelObject cannot exist outside of a Model which ensures that each ModelObject can access the full Model to search for related ModelObjects. Model also accepts a connection to EnergyPlus simulation output through the SqlFile access to the SQLite output of EnergyPlus. Each ModelObject may then access simulation output in its own context. Connection to simulation data from other simulation engines is planned for the future.

The OpenStudio Model input data model is based on the schema defined by the OpenStudio IDD. Each concrete ModelObject wraps a particular data type in the OpenStudio IDD and Model enforces collection level constraints such as preventing multiple definitions of unique objects, updating reference fields that point from one ModelObject to another when the target's name changes, etc. Most of Model's capabilities for managing data according to an IDD schema are implemented in the Workspace base class. See the Workspace documentation in the utilities sub-project for more information about Workspace.

template<typename T >
std::vector<T> openstudio::model::Model::getConcreteModelObjects ( ) const

Returns all ModelObjects of type T, using T::iddObjectType() to speed up the search.

This method will only work for concrete model objects (leaves in the ModelObject inheritance tree), hence the name.

template<typename T >
boost::optional<T> openstudio::model::Model::getModelObject ( const Handle &  handle) const
inline

Returns the ModelObject referenced by handle if it is of type T.

This method can be used with T as a concrete type (e.g. Zone) or as an abstract class (e.g. ParentObject).

Todo:
Use of this template method requires knowledge of the size of the implementation object. Therefore, to use model.getModelObject<Zone>(handle) the user must include both Zone.hpp and Zone_Impl.hpp. It may be better to instantiate each version of this template method to avoid exposing the implementation objects, this is an open question.

This method can be used with T as a concrete type (e.g. Zone) or as an abstract class (e.g. ParentObject), but please see getConcreteModelObjectByName if T is concrete.

Todo:
Use of this template method requires knowledge of the size of the implementation object. Therefore, to use model.getModelObjectsByName<Zone>("Zone1") the user must include both Zone.hpp and Zone_Impl.hpp. It may be better to instantiate each version of this template method to avoid exposing the implementation objects, this is an open question.

const std::string &  attributeName,
double  inputResult,
double  outputResult,
double  tol,
LogLevel  logLevel = LogLevel::Debug
