The problem is i chose a example file from energyplus "example files" folder and modify it on sketchup with euclid and when i run that modify idf file it doesnot produce any output(only produce err and RVAUDIT file only ) although i doesnot change any output variable i only change geometry(add windows and other item littlebit) whereas the example file which is modify produce all result before modification. i tried to read RVAUDIT file it said "requested eso file doesnot found" files content of both modified and unmodified shared below ...kindly help me in this problem

content of RVAUDIT file of modified idf "Thu 05/21/2020 0:47:49.17 ReadVars ReadVarsESO Requested ESO file=eplusout.eso does not exist. ReadVarsESO program terminated. ReadVarsESO program terminated. ReadVarsESO processing:test.mvi Requested ESO file=eplusout.mtr does not exist. ReadVarsESO program terminated. ReadVarsESO program terminated.

"

Content of err file of modified idf "Program Version,EnergyPlus, Version 9.3.0-baff08990c, YMD=2020.05.21 00:47, * Severe * <root>[FenestrationSurface:Detailed][WL-1] - Missing required property 'vertex_3_y_coordinate'. * Severe * <root>[FenestrationSurface:Detailed][WL-1] - Missing required property 'vertex_3_z_coordinate'. * Fatal * Errors occurred on processing input file.

@Junaid Awan this seems like a very similar question that you've already asked. Perhaps we can close one of them? If not, then what version of EnergyPlus did you get the example file from, and what version of Euclid did you use to change the geometry? It looks like there is something wrong with surface geometry from the ERR file content you shared. If possible, could you include links to the modified IDF & ERR?

yes kindly close this one..both have similar problem if one is solved other is solved automatically

Energyplus version 9.3.0 and Euclid 0.9.3 with sketchup Make 2017

Actually i applied this work to many file but probelm is same it has everytime some err like feneestration design, HVAC but i didnot change ....it seem if i open idf file in sketchup and saved without chnage with other name ..even then the output file are not generated....

sorry for late reply

I will actually close the other question you started, since this post has more discussion.

It could be a Euclid vs EnergyPlus version lack of compatibility.

As @Aaron Boranian suggested, there is a geometry issue.

Years ago I used to model geometry into SketchUp through Legacy Open Studio (previous than Euclid) and I remeber sometime I had this kind of problem using Push/Pull SketchUp comamnd rather than Move. "Move" had always showed to be reliable

how to check compatibility i am using energyplus 9.3.0 and Euclid 0.9.3

If you're using Euclid v0.9.3, that is meant to be used with EnergyPlus v8.7 through v8.9. In EnergyPlus v9.0, some input field changes were made to the FenestrationSurface:Detailed object used to define fenestration (windows, doors, skylights, etc.).

If you want to use Euclid for EnergyPlus v9.3, send me an email (aaron.boranian@bigladdersoftware.com) and I will share a Beta version that we are testing before public release.
