Hi Eric. No, the model did not have WindowMaterial:SimpleGlazingSystem in it. I changed the window to this, and it solved the problem - at least got further in the simulation process.
Unfortunately, I now got 12 new errors:
- Process exited with a non-zero exit code of: 1
- Error report file indicates that the process did not complete successfully
- IP: IDF line~10241 Error detected in Object=DAYLIGHTING:CONTROLS, name=THERMAL ZONE 1 Field [Zone Name] is required but was blank
- IP: IDF line~10253 Error detected in Object=DAYLIGHTING:CONTROLS, name=THERMAL ZONE 1 Field [Daylighting Reference Point 1 Name] is required but was blank
- Out of range value Numeric Field#3 (Number of Stepped Control Steps), value=0.10000, range={>=1}, in DAYLIGHTING:CONTROLS=THERMAL ZONE 1
- Out of range value Numeric Field#5 (Glare Calculation Azimuth Angle of View Direction Clockwise from Zone y-Axis), value=1000000.00000, range={>=0 and
- Out of range value Numeric Field#6 (Maximum Allowable Discomfort Glare Index), value=0.00000, range={>=1}, in DAYLIGHTING:CONTROLS=THERMAL ZONE 1
- Out of range value Numeric Field#8 (Fraction of Zone Controlled by Reference Point 1), value=22.00000, range={>=0.0 and
- IP: Out of "range" values found in input

- IP: Out of "range" values and/or blank required fields found in input
