Dear Building Simulation Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the release of GenOpt 3.0.0 beta2.

GenOpt is an optimization program for the minimization of a cost
function, such as annual energy use, that is evaluated by a simulation
program, such as EnergyPlus, TRNSYS, IDA, DOE-2, or any simulation
program with text-based input and output. GenOpt can also be used to
automate parametric studies.

GenOpt 3.0.0 will run multiple simulations in parallel. Depending on the
number of processors that your computer has, GenOpt may start multiple
simulations simultaneously in order to reduce the computing time for an
optimization or a parametric study.

Your sincerely,

Michael Wetter
