When I run my OpenStudio model I get the following error:
**FATAL:IP: Errors occurred on processing IDF file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination >
How do I find what's causing it?
(in response to comments from this question)
The eplusout.err file will have the specific cause of the error. Navigate to it inside the OpenStudio app (see image below) or through the OSM file directory: osm file name folder > run > 6-EnergyPlus-0 > eplusout.err
Open the ERR file and search for either "severe" or "fatal" errors, those will be the ones causing the simulation to fail.
I always use the Add Output Diagnostics measure and "DisplayAllWarnings" which provides more detailed descriptions of the errors.
Eplusout.err File Location
I found eplusout.err but when I click on it to open it this comes out: "No operating system registered viewer for /var/folders/1t" ... ???
@ellimelimeli you'll need a text editor such as Notepad to view it and have it set as the default program for ERR files.
Thanks a lot! Will be coming back with a lot of questions, as it looks like! :)
@obuchely the measure will not prevent errors, only help to diagnose them.
