Revision history [back]

OK I Think you hit on a bug. First you have a space that is not assigned to a thermal zone (Space 1 - 1) but that is not the issue. When I tried running your model after deleting Space 1 - 1, on OS 2.5.1 I got that fatal:

 ** Severe  ** CalcCoordinateTransformation: Invalid dot product, surface="FACE 39":
   **   ~~~   **  (  64.008,   8.839,   0.000)
   **   ~~~   **  (  64.008,  42.672,   0.000)
   **   ~~~   **  (  64.008,  42.672,   0.000)
   **   ~~~   **  (  64.008,  51.511,   0.000)

Which means that the model as overlapping vertices in surface Face 39. as you can read. Your original OSW file doesn't have it:

  64.008, 51.5112, 0;                     !- X,Y,Z Vertex 4 {m}

It shows up in the in.osw generated only during simulation :

  {3c8b133f-2575-4c50-bef6-f23c74d21342}, !- Handle

  76.8096, 8.8392, 0;                     !- X,Y,Z Vertex 9 {m}

And then being translated into the in.idf:

  76.8096, 8.8392, 0;                     !- X,Y,Z Vertex 9 {m}

I believe that this bug was already reported here and got to do with the geometry editor.

I was able to work around it when I inserted 4 at the number of vertices of that surface using a text editor. So the object in the OSW file should look like that:

 OS:Surface,
      {3c8b133f-2575-4c50-bef6-f23c74d21342}, !- Handle
      Face 39,                                !- Name
      Floor,                                  !- Surface Type

      {da039815-96c8-4a86-8c73-761d436691c1}, !- Space Name
      Ground,                                 !- Outside Boundary Condition

      NoSun,                                  !- Sun Exposure
      NoWind,                                 !- Wind Exposure
