Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community

Expanding my design alternative in the Run tab, I do not have an EnergyPlus Results report. I also do not have any errors or warnings in my seed model (when run alone in openstudio).
PARTIAL ANSWER: I have fixed this issue but am running into the same error at a later time. To fix this error: If you have two copies of the OpenStudio Results measure (one in the BCL and one in your local measure directory) then you need to delete the one in your local directory and run PAT using the one from BCL. This solves the error, until you try to add a second seed model.
FURTHER ISSUE: I am now trying to add a second seed model to run the same set of design alternatives on. The two seed models are essentially identical except the envelope construction and the weather file that I use (which I have also uploaded to PAT). Trying to run the same design alternatives, with the same measure options I run into the same OpenStudio results Completed fail error. I have switched all of the "model to base inputs on" to the second seed model and I have also switched the "seed model" for each design alternative.

This solves the error, until you try to add a second seed model. When you add another seed model, any measures which rely on components from the original seed model (even if those also exist in your new seed model) will be cleared. i.e. if you have a measure option to change a construction, that measure option will still be there after the new seed model is added, but the construction selection will be cleared. You must reassign all model dependent measure option arguments.
