Simulation failed when building has a glassdoor
I have tested OS without using WWR scrip, simple building in image below. By default, from version 1.6 (may be wrong) OS set a rectangle that touch the bottom of each level as glassdoor and then simulation failed. Changing glass door to fix windows can fix this issue, E+ run fine. (I use VRF system in this case. OS 1.8.5) I think there are something wrong when OS translates glassdoor into E+.
EDIT
Here is the eplusout.err

I face this issue since Openstudio 1.6 or 1.7, cant remember exactly.
What's your E+ error file saying?
pls see 2nd image **FATAL:IP:Errors occurred on processing IDF file....
That's not your E+ Error file, just OpenStudio telling you E+ failed. Go to tree > run > 4-EnergyPlus >
eplusout.err
or go to your file explorer and locate it. It's where you'll find the why and when or your error.I'm not familyar with E+ error, something like this, see detail in the answer below. But I'm sure it related glassdoor, when I put a glassdoor, this error occurs, change to fix window, simulation works again.
