Useful Regular Expressions

• Select shell (FLOOR) named "Level_8" and all spaces following, up to "Level_9"
  
  (?s)(^"Level_8.*)(?=^"Level_9)
  
  Note that (?s) enables multi-line matching, and (?= begins a non-capturing group
  
• Match all EL1 walls and reformat with space vertex identifier
  
  (?s)(^"EL1\s)(\w{1,20}\s)(Wall\s.{1,5}\..{1,9}\.)(.{1,9})(\)"\s{1,20}\=\s)(\w)(.{5,100}SPACE\-)(V\d{1,2})
  
  Replacement String: \1\6\3\8\5\6\7\8
  
• Strip least-significant identifier from Roof / Flr components:
  
  (^"EL\d\sRoof\s\(.{1,9}\..{1,9})(\..{1,9}\)")
  (^"EL\d\sFlr\s\(.{1,9}\..{1,9})(\..{1,9}\)")
  
  Replacement String: \1)"
  
  

Detailed Edit Notes

• Pseudo routine to 'round' geometry points in an .inp file:
• Read each line of .inp file
• For each line, check for "Vn = x.yz, y.zx" (polygon vertex point) or " = SPACE" followed by "X = x.yz" or "Y = y.zx" (space insertion coordinate).
• If vertex point or insertion coordinate is found, then if x.yz or y.zx contains "e", then round to zero, else round to nearest whole number, else write-line unchanged.
• If vertex or coordinate found, write original line with $ as first char (comment), and followed by updated line in the format Vn = x, y or X = x or Y = y (pad with spaces to maintain formatting).
• Check for duplicate vertices, e.g.
  V1 = 1, 0
  V2 = 8, 0
  V3 = 8, 0
• For the above example, "Along vector y = 0, x increases from 1 to 8, with the intermediate point closest to the second value. Therefore, subtract 1 from the second value". The updated vertex list will be as follows:
  V1 = 1, 0
  V2 = 7, 0
  V3 = 8, 0
• Write generalized logic to handle all permutations. Include checking first vertex against the last for duplication.
• Write generalized logic to translate all space polygon vertices with insertion azimuth to zero azimuth. Do azimuth translation before rounding.
• Provide option to round to the nearest whole, half or quarter foot.
• Make interior wall surface type ADIABATIC by User default, and remove 'NEXT-TO' adjacency dependencies.
• Apply heat transfer analysis between internal spaces 'by exception' (i.e. 'where necessary') instead of 'by default'.
• This greatly simplifies the tasks of modifying existing and creating new spaces in detailed edit mode, without sacrificing appreciable accuracy.
