Hi everyone !

I'm a french student and i work on OpenStudio.

I wanted to created a concrete cube of 1 m3, so i used the OpenStudio's concrete wall. I precised the schedules tab to have 19 °C inside. I deleted all lights, people definitions, or other equipment to have only one concrete cube.

But when I run the simulation this message appears: **FATAL:Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination.

I watched a lot of topics about this problem but i don't understand anything about the solutions...

Someone can explain me the problem, i think it's very easy but I don't really know the software.

Thank you ! image description

You can share the error file or maybe the whole OpenStudio model. I can take a look at it.

@Mathias you can either exchange emails or you can upload the ERR (EnergyPlus error file) and OSM (OpenStudio model file) that @Ehsank referenced to Dropbox or a similar online storage tool and share the folder.

@Mathias, you can email me the files, but sharing it on Dropbox or similar cloud storage is a better option because other users could also access the file.

I just edit the main message from above with the error screen and Dropbox link to share you the OpenStudio model.

You should connect your space(s) to the thermal zone (s). Select the 'Spaces' tab, go to 'My Model', open the 'Thermal Zones', and drag & drop the 'cube béton' thermal zone under the 'Thermal Zone' column. I could run the simulation successfully. Also, your hot water loop is not connected to anything else. You should remove that loop as well.

Thank you for your help, but it doesn't work currently. Can you share me your OpenStudio model on dropbox please ?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/m9xv0uq4i1x... You probably need to update your OpenStudio to open the file.
