I may be wrong, but it sounds like you simply want the OpenStudio Results measure to report results in SI units. As documented here, you can toggle between SI and IP in the very first input selection "Which Unit System do you want to use?". Here's the corresponding code (in its measure.rb file):

# define the arguments that the user will input
  def arguments(model = nil)
    args = OpenStudio::Measure::OSArgumentVector.new

    chs = OpenStudio::StringVector.new
    chs << 'IP'
    chs << 'SI'
    units = OpenStudio::Measure::OSArgument.makeChoiceArgument('units', chs, true)
    units.setDisplayName('Which Unit System do you want to use?')
    units.setDefaultValue('IP')
    args << units

Tested this using OpenStudio Application v1.9 - no issues. It is true that (much) older versions of the measure did not offer this units toggle - but recent releases do (see here). Which version(s) of the OpenStudio Application are you using? If you're not seeing the units pull-down option, you may be using a fairly old version of the measure. If so, consider upgrading.

There is definitely an issue with the measure when dealing with OpenStudio version 3.8, as discussed here and here. No issues with the latest OpenStudio SDK version 1.9 (i.e. OpenStudio Application 3.9), however.

You mention that the "simulation failed". A corrupt or faulty OpenStudio Results Measure wouldn't cause may fail to generate formatted results (post-simulation), yet would unlikely crash an actual EnergyPlus simulation to fail - maybe just a failure in results reporting (post-simulation). EnergyPlus. I suggest you copy/rename you:

• copy, then rename your .osm file. Reopen file
• reopen using the App, App
• delete the OpenStudio Results measure, measure
• save, and re-run the simulation, simulation
• peruse through the results. results

Any failures? Do results seem OK? Make sure this works first, before troubleshooting attempting to troubleshoot the measure itself.
