Ground modelling (slab)

edit

Hey, I want to simulate the ground temperature using the "slab programm" (Eplus-Versino 8.3).

GroundHeatTransfer:Control: Run Slab Procesor Yes
GroundHeatTransfer:Slab:BoundConds,
TRUE,                    !- EVTR: Is surface evapotranspiration modeled
TRUE,                    !- FIXBC: is the lower boundary at a fixed temperature
10,                      !- TDEEPin {C}

1;                       !- TCON: Soil k {W/m-K}

I run EP-Launch / Utilities Slab / i got the following error message: specified file missing for utility: Slab: ....out_bsmt.idf

Then i tried to run the normal launch / single input file

I get the error message: Specified file missing for utility: Slab

PrelimOutput: Improper slab entered.  Describe slab using EquivalentSlab object or similar.

Is this even the right way to simulate the ground :) ? Thank you very much for your help!
