Problem in running simulation in OpenStudio and EnergyPlus
Hey everyone :)
When I run the simulation in OpenStudio i get this message:
I also exported an IDF file from OpenStudio and tried to run a simulation with EnergyPlus, but I also had this message:
Is it because I didn't fill the HVAC/Thermal zone Tab? Anyone who could help, please?
Ps: I am using OpenStudio 2.5 and EnergyPlus 2.13.
Thanks :)
EDIT: So I opened the *.err file to have details about the error, as suggested, and I had this message:
Program Version,EnergyPlus, Version 8.9.0-eba93e8e1b, YMD=2018.07.20 12:31,

But I did not understand the third one (the Fatal one), So if anyone could help ?
Thanks again :)
OpenStudio 2.5 and EnergyPlus 2.13??? 2.5 should be based on EnergyPlus 8.9.0. Anyways, please open the "eplusout.err" to see what the actual error is, and post it here.
@Julien Marrec , I could not upload the text message in the comment here, so please find it above (I edited the question) Thanks :)
Looks like your construction doesn't have any materials in it. Drag and drop materials and/or constructions from the default library and use those in your default construction.
@mdahlhausen, indeed I had few surfaces without construction assigned, that I fixed afterwords, but I did not get the third error (Fatal): Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination. Do you know what does it mean ? And how can I fix it ? Thanks :)
To paste a snippet out of the eplusout.err, you can just copy and paste the text in your post, then use the "Code" functionality (CTRL+K, or click on the icon with "010101". That will indent the text by 4 space and display as a code block for readability.
Usually when a Fatal message is thrown, it is linked to a Severe error thrown before it. What do you get after you fixed the construction?
Thanks, When I fixed the construction, I had this :

Preceding condition(s) cause termination.
Like I said, the Fatal tells you there's something (reported before as a Severe) that it couldn't recover for. So fix that infiltration schedule missing and try again.
