Hi,
I am trying to model a primary school in OpenStudio. However, it fails when I am trying to run the unconditioned space. The ERR file and failure snapshot are presented in the following URL. I will appreciate that if you can help me with that.

Thanks,
OK I Think you hit on a bug. First you have a space that is not assigned to a thermal zone (Space 1 - 1) but that is not the issue. When I tried running your model after deleting Space 1 - 1, on OS 2.5.1 I got that fatal:
** Severe ** CalcCoordinateTransformation: Invalid dot product, surface="FACE 39":
** ~~~ ** ( 64.008, 8.839, 0.000)
** ~~~ ** ( 64.008, 42.672, 0.000)
** ~~~ ** ( 64.008, 42.672, 0.000)
** ~~~ ** ( 64.008, 51.511, 0.000)
Which means that the model as overlapping vertices in surface Face 39. as you can read. Your original OSW file doesn't have it:
OS:Surface,

64.008, 8.8392, 0, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 3 {m}
64.008, 51.5112, 0; !- X,Y,Z Vertex 4 {m}
It shows up in the in.osw generated only during simulation :

And then being translated into the in.idf:

I believe that this bug was already reported here and got to do with the geometry editor.
I was able to work ...
@David Goldwasser You might wan't to look at that as I believe it is related to a close issue linked above
@Avi as you mentioned, I deleted Space 1-1, and I changed the number of vertices to 4 for Face 39. However, when I tried to run it in OS 2.5, it did not work and I got the following error message.
@Avi Thanks for your help. I checked the files again. It seems that in my OS file, Face 47 creates problem (as attached in the ERR file). However, I also checked the following files:
CheckPoint2.osm in.osm in.idf
In all of them, for Face 47, I have 8 vertices. should I delete 4 vertices from the CheckPoint2.osm file? or is there any other file that I need to check and make changes to them?
If you look at your original CheckPoint2.osm file the Face 47 looks like that:
64.008, 51.5112, 3.9624, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 1 {m}
76.8096, 51.5112, 3.9624, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 2 {m}
76.8096, 51.5112, 0, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 3 {m}
64.008, 51.5112, 0; !- X,Y,Z Vertex 4 {m}
So something you did changed it try to reload the original file the one in that link and try to find out when dose it changes.

@M 108014 have you manually deleted objects from that OSW file? Could you post a link to that model?
@Avi No, I did not delete any object manually from the OSW file. Please find attached the link to the model
