in buildingspy the function "s.simulate" generates a mos run-file and runs the file;
in the mos-file there is written something like
simulateModel(modelname, startTime=0, stopTime=31536000, method="Cvode - variable order", tolerance=0.0001, resultFile="Inffeldgasse13_1", numberOfIntervals=8760);
if s.addParameters is used, it is something like
simulateModel('modelname(multizone.VAir=30000)', ...)
or
simulateModel('modelname(multizone.zoneParam[1].gWin=0.6)', ...)
the problem is that writing the parameters in parenthesis after the model works as long as the parameter is accessible with dots only, but if there is an index, it doesn't work anymore, because Dymola obviously can't handle indices inside the parenthesis.
Our solution so far is to use the Python Interface of Dymola to access the parameters:
We use the function 'simulateExtendedModel' from the Interface, where parameters can be given extra this way
simulateExtendedModel(modelname, ..., initialNames=['multizone.zoneParam[1].gWin'], initialValues=[0.6], resultFile=path)
Here it works with indices too. We save the file to a given path and then import the results with buildingspy.
A solution for buildingspy would be to give the option to either generate a mos run-file with simulateModel or a mos run-file with simulateExtendedModel depending on if parameters are added or not
