I did a quick 5-zone model (1 core and 4 perimeters) with 189.1 office wholebuilding spaces, schedule set, and construction set. I assigned a VRF system and one terminal for each zone, and assigned different thermostat cooling setpoint for each zone following the description of your model as I understand it. The rest of the default values were not changed. The model ran to completion with 0 error and 23 warnings. I am using OS 1.6.1.

The error message "No Sizing:Zone objects were entered" suggests the source of the problem since the succeeding calculations use the zone sizing calculation results. Perhaps checking the sizing parameters in the thermal zone tab could show where the problem is. Another suggestion is to build and run your model using the default values of OS similar to what I did. If successful, then replace the specific parameters with that of the building being modeled. Hope this helps.
