model runs in windows e+ but fails in Mac OS e+
Hi All,
I have tested the .idf in the windows version of e+ and it runs fine. When i try and run it from the command line on the mac version of e+ it fails. I am new to running from the command line it gets to "Beginning Primary Simulation" then I get the fatal error. Does anyone know why it might be failing?
When I check the error file I get this vague error:
===== Final Error Summary =====
************* The following error categories occurred. Consider correcting or noting.
************* Loads Initialization did not Converge
************* ..1) very high thermal mass such as very thick concrete (solution: increase max number of warmup
************* .. days in the BUILDING object);
************* ..2) moderate mass and inadequate space conditioning such that the building keeps getting warmer
************* .. and warmer on successive days (solution: add HVAC, check building thermal properties,
************* .. check if infiltration is included, make sure HVAC properly controlled);
************* ..3) a soil layer modeled below the concrete slab - (solution remove this layer and read about
************* .. ground temperatures in the Auxiliary Programs document).
************* ..4) unreasonable (too small) limits in the BUILDING object for temperature (.4 default) or
************* .. loads tolerances (.04 default)
************* Nominally Unused Constructions

Thank you in advance!
I figured it out! opps. I hadn't specified the weather file to use so it was using the default weather file which was causing it to crash :)
Move that as an answer!
