This Python library is designed to allow easy usage of the Be10 and Be15 calculation engines from Python. Notice that the python interpreter must be 32 bit!
From the command line:
pip install beeng
Or
py -m pip install beeng
import beeng
eng = beeng.Engine()
model = eng.load_model('PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT_XML')
res_success, res_xml = eng.get_res_xml(model)
key_success, key_xml = eng.get_key_xml(model)
assert res_success == True
assert key_success == TrueSee the example directory for more options.
The following table shows that arguments that can be given to the Engine class.
| Argument | Type | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| be_eng_dll_path | str | The path to the Be engine DLL. If set to None beeng will attempt to auto find the dll. |
| buffer_size | int | The number of bytes used for the results buffer |
| uk_flag | int | Control the language of the results. 0 = danish, 1 = english. |
| check_for_valid_license | bool | If set to true beeng will check if a valid license is available. Only works from version 8.17.1.17 and forward. |
Notice that the calculation engine always check for a valid license so check_for_valid_license is only a help to detect the problem. If check_for_valid_license is set to false then the engine will simply fail to return results when no valid license is available.
The following functions from the DLL can be used:
| Function | Return | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| get_key_xml | (bool, str) | The bool indicates success and the str contains the key xml data |
| get_res_xml | (bool, str) | The bool indicates success and the str contains the results xml data |
| get_summer_comfort | (bool, str) | The bool indicates success and the str contains the summer comfort temperature xml data for each hour of every day the whole year |
| is_license_valid | bool | The bool indicates if a valid license is available (True = valid license) (Supported from version 8.17.1.17 and forward) |
