ExternalInterface: Could not open socket
I used EnergyPlusToFMU to create FMUs for the example files that comes with it. I'm using PyFMI to run the simulation. Every time I get the following error ExternalInterface: Could not open socket. File descriptor = -1. The utilSocket.log file shows that sockets are being opened but errors occur when trying to connect to them. Socket opened, sockfd = 348. Error when connecting to socket: WSAGetLastError = 10013.
I tried a different computer and go it to work on the first try. Could this be due to permission issues? I found this post which mentions having a local IP specified in the
.cfgfile instead of username, mine includes the computer name.
