Hello!

I'm working on an EnergyPlus-based project where I'm attempting to use BSDF files for moddeling the window shading. Despite my best efforts, I have had no luck getting EnergyPlus to accept my BSDE file (diffrent severe errors no matter how I try to implement it).

I'm wondering if anyone has a IDF file from a previous project which is set up to use a BSDF file for shading? If so, I would be greatfull if I could review it as a refrence for fixing my own file. I believe that is the quickest way to ask for help since it apperas that I cannot upolad my files here to ask for specific advice.

Have you tested the CmplxGlz_InShadeGasMix.idf test file? Had no issues running the v25.2 version. No related simulation errors, yet haven't taken a deeper dive looking at the results ...
