Hi All, I have a fatal error with my EnergyPlus Modeling. Please see error details below for error details. I don't know where to look at and edit "GetSysAvailManagerInputs". Can you please help me fix this issue? Thanks so much in advance for your help! Please feel free to let me know if you need more information form me regarding the energy modeling.

Thanks again!

Interesting. The example file 5ZoneDDCycleonAny also has no control zone input (last entry not entered)

AvailabilityManager:NightCycle,
 VAV Sys 1 Avail,         !- Name
 SysAvailApplicSch,       !- Applicability Schedule Name
 FanAvailSched,           !- Fan Schedule Name
 CycleOnAny,              !- Control Type
 1,                       !- Thermostat Tolerance {deltaC}
 7200.;                   !- Cycling Run Time {s}

The IDD calls for these inputs. Note that this object states only 6 inputs are required, not 7. Try entering the name of the zone you want to use to test zone conditions for when the AHU should turn on.
