Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community
 | 1 | initial version |
Are you getting through the measure and having an EnergyPlus failure. Here are some initial thoughts - If you have space types in your model that are not setup with standards building type and space type create typical won't work as expected. If you don't have space types at all then space type wizard would add a whole building office as catch all space type. - Make sure when setting the weather file that it is is properly setting the ASHRAE climate zone that is needed by create typical measure. - The set Thermostat Schedules needs to refer to schedules already in the model, but you can just remove this since create_typical should add thermostats for you.
You may want to use this workflow as a starting point. You can check this out and run it with OpenStudio 3.1.0 to test your computer environment. Note that this workflow uses an empty seed and brings in model through an argument in the measure. It was setup that way so when setup as a parametric analysis project the model can be a variable that changes. You can keep it setup like it is or remove the replace model measure and use your model in place of the currently empty seed model. https://github.com/DavidGoldwasser/osw2osa/blob/pre_bundled/run/workflows/osm_typical/in.osw
Look at the out.osw file for log messages for each measure to give an indication of what might have gone wrong.
