How can I use DesignBuilder to create an EnergyPlus IDF file?

DesignBuilder stores the EnergyPlus input data as ‘in.idf’ in the ‘EnergyPlus’ folder below the DesignBuilder installation folder (typically c:\program files\DesignBuilder\EnergyPlus). To create this file, load your model and click on the simulation tab to start a simulation (you can cancel it once the simulation has started). You can access this file using the ‘Tools | Display simulation input script’ menu command.
