Important Tools

In connection with AixLib, various tools have been developed that utilize AixLib models or facilitate the semi-automated generation of simulation models. These tools, listed in Table 1, can be categorized into two types.

Simulation automation and Postprocessing

ebcpy and AixCaliBuHA are both Python tools and were developed together. ebcpy offers a simulation interface to Dymola and OpenModelica and allows to automate workflows but also to analyse and optimize simulation models. AixCaliBuHa allows calibrating simulation models based on time series data like measurements.

Generative Tools interfacing with AixLib

TEASER can be used to create building simulation models based on easy to create parametric models in Python. TEASER is the way to go, to create the models for the ReducedOrder Package inside the ThermalZone package of AixLib.
