See my comment to this previous question. Basically, you need a text editor to view the ERR file, which you can set as the default program for this file extension. After you have a text editor set as the defualt program for ERR files you'll be able to open them from within OpenStudio. Alternatively you can navigate to the 0-EnergyPlus-# folder in the model directory, which is where the ERR file is stored.

The ERR file contains the errors from the EnergyPlus simulation, not all of which are responsible for the run failing. For example the model can have many "warnings" and "errors", but the simulation may complete successfully. If it does not, search the ERR file for Fatal to find the severe error preventing it from running.
