I beg a pardon for so many questions, but OS is really not so obviously connected to E+ as it could be... The question is in the topic, simulation returns the same fatal error:

FindTDDPipe: Surface=SUB SURFACE 11, TDD:Dome object does not reference a valid Diffuser object....needs DaylightingDevice:Tubular of same name as Surface.

In E+ TDD object looks different and has additional settings to model it. Does OS support TDD the same way?

TDDs are not yet supported in OpenStudio, but when they get added they will work in pretty much the same way as in E+. We just have not yet wrapped the DaylightingDevice:Tubular object in OpenStudio. In the meantime, these can be modeled using an E+ Measure.

Would be great to exclude this object from subsurface's choice :)

Or add the TubularDaylightingDevice object. It is straightforward to handle in E+, I think the radiance integration is more challenging though.
