OpenStudio: can't calculate zone volume due to not enclosed surfaces
Hi, everyone!
I was running OpenStudio and got some severe errors like the following.
** Severe ** For zone: ELC ROOM 1 it is not possible to calculate the volume from the surrounding surfaces so either provide the volume value or define all the surfaces to fully enclose the zone.
** Warning ** CalculateZoneVolume: The Zone="ELC ROOM 1" is not fully enclosed. To be fully enclosed, each edge of a surface must also be an edge on one other surface.
** ~~~ ** The zone volume was not calculated and an error exists.
** ~~~ ** The surface "SURFACE 77" has an edge that was used 4 times: it is an edge on three or more surfaces:
** ~~~ ** It was found on the following Surfaces: 'SURFACE 82' 'SURFACE 687' 'SURFACE 682'
** ~~~ ** Vertex start { 65.5000, 121.2319, 8.0000}
** ~~~ ** Vertex end { 72.9262, 113.3000, 8.0000}
** ~~~ ** The surface "SURFACE 77" has an edge that was used 3 times: it is an edge on three or more surfaces:
** ~~~ ** It was found on the following Surfaces: 'SURFACE 78' 'SURFACE 210'
** ~~~ ** Vertex start { 72.9262, 113.3000, 8.0000}
** ~~~ ** Vertex end { 72.9262, 113.3000, 4.4000}
** ~~~ ** The surface "SURFACE 78" has an edge that was used 4 times: it is an edge on three or more surfaces:
** ~~~ ** It was found on the following Surfaces: 'SURFACE 210' 'SURFACE 374' 'SURFACE 939'
** ~~~ ** Vertex start { 72.9262, 113.3000, 8.0000}
** ~~~ ** Vertex end { 69.3000, 113.3000, 8.0000}
** ~~~ ** The surface "SURFACE 78" has an edge that was used 3 times: it is an edge on three or more surfaces:
** ~~~ ** It was found on the following Surfaces: 'SURFACE 79' 'SURFACE 210'
** ~~~ ** Vertex start { 69.3000, 113.3000, 8.0000}
** ~~~ ** Vertex end { 69.3000, 113.3000, 4.4000}
I've already checked the zones, and they are enclosed. According to some videos(https://youtu.be/Eex6T2SmqOc?si=gjAnyCZx_vbxH8wb), this can be fixed using the inspector in SketchUP, but I find it almost impossible, as my model is a shopping mall with 4 stories and complex structures. Computing the volume for each zone seems to be time-consuming.
I am a new user of OpenStudio and can't figure out the meaning of the upper code. My model can be viewed through this link. I try to save the file as idf. but failed.
Does anyone know how to solve the problem?
Thanks, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
I edited your Google Drive link, which wasn't working. I just requested access permission, but ideally this shouldn't require authorization - should be shared publicly.
Thanks for reminding! I opened the access to the public just now.
