GTSUITE Output

This node provides the interface to the GTSuite simulation application.

Typically, the following reference files are required for a GTSuite project:

  • PROJECT.gdx: Result file

  • PROJECT.gtm: Model file

  • PROJECT_init.txt: File for initializing the input parameters in optiSLang, uses the input node

  • PROJECT_result.txt: Result file for reading the result signal into optiSLang, uses the output node

  • PROJECT_GT2TXT.exp: XML file that defines which result variables are exported for optiSLang

optiSLang modifies the input parameters of the GTI model (PROJECT.gtm).

In the .gtm file, the variable parameters are defined by placeholders.

Parameter names and associated reference values are stored in the PROJECT_init.txt file. For example:

Ambient_Temperature=15 
Cabin_Air_Volume=6000

The PROJECT_result.txt file defines the result file format to be read. For example:

If you follow the convention for naming the reference files, you only have to give the Solver wizard the PROJECT_init.txt file and the parametric system can be completely built.

GTSUITE_solve then calls GTSuite as follows:

gtsuite -extparamfile:PROJECT_init.txt -Cases:1 PROJECT.gtm

The results are then exported to the PROJECT_result.txt file:

gtexport "PROJECT_GT2TXT.exp" "PROJECT.gdx" "PROJECT_result.txt"
