I've tried multiple times without success to call my EES code from Python, passing inputs and handling the output. Utilizing the EES Connector from this link (https://pypi.org/project/EES-connector/), I followed the instructions meticulously. Despite successfully applying entries, the issue persists, and the expected values are not returned.
here is the codes I wrote:
======================================
Python code:
------------------------------------------------------
from EESConnect import EESConnector
from tkinter import filedialog
import tkinter as tk
#select the ees file path
root = tk.Tk()
root.withdraw()
ees_file_path = filedialog.askopenfilename()
with EESConnector() as ees:
ees.ees_file_path = ees_file_path
result = ees.calculate(["air_ha", 383, 101.325])
print(result[1])
======================================
EES code:
------------------------------------------------------
$UnitSystem SI K kPa kJ
$Import 'ees_input.dat' file$ F$ T P
h=enthalpy(F$, T=T, P=P)
s=entropy(F$, T=T, P=P)
$Export 'ees_output.dat' file$ h s
======================================
Thank you in advance for your response.
To correct the code, you need to make a few modifications. Here's the corrected version:
```python
from EESConnect import EESConnector
from tkinter import filedialog
import tkinter as tk
# Create a Tkinter window
root = tk.Tk()
root.withdraw()
# Open a file dialog to select the EES file
ees_file_path = filedialog.askopenfilename()
# Create an instance of EESConnector
with EESConnector() as ees:
# Set the EES file path
ees.ees_file_path = ees_file_path
# Define the calculation in EES syntax
ees_code = '''
$UnitSystem SI K kPa kJ
$Import 'ees_input.dat' file$ F$ T P
h = enthalpy(F$, T=T, P=P)
s = entropy(F$, T=T, P=P)
$Export 'ees_output.dat' file$ h s
'''
# Run the calculation in EES
ees.run(ees_code)
# Read the calculated results from the output file
results = ees.read_results('ees_output.dat')
# Print the results
print(results['h'])
print(results['s'])
```
In the corrected code:
1. The `ees_code` variable is introduced to store the EES calculation code.
2. The `ees.run(ees_code)` line is added to execute the EES calculation using the `run` method of the `ees` object.
3. The `ees.read_results('ees_output.dat')` line is added to read the calculated results from the output file generated by EES. The results are stored in the `results` dictionary.
4. The `print(results['h'])` and `print(results['s'])` lines are added to print the values of the calculated enthalpy (`h`) and entropy (`s`) from the `results` dictionary.
Make sure you have the `EESConnect` library properly installed and the necessary input and output files (`ees_input.dat` and `ees_output.dat`) available for the EES calculation.
Good luck
Thank you Mohammad Imam
that was so useful but I have face an error while running "ees.run(ees_code)".
Here is the error:
'EESConnector' object has no attribute 'run'
Dear Mohammad Imam ,
I have mentioned this link by myself before in my question and I have read the description there completely. since the explanation and the code there does not work, I ask this question here.
