SF Residential prototype models - heated basement errors
I'm trying to simulate the single-family residential prototypes, and I get the error below for all of the heated basement models. Here's the CZ7 IDF + EPW for reference.
I've tried multiple code years, IECC and ASHRAE, and get the same error for all of the heated basement prototypes. Does anyone know how to simulate these?
** Severe ** Output:PreprocessorMessage="GroundTempCalc - Basement" has the following Severe conditions:
** ~~~ ** EPlusOutput: Calculations have resulted in invalid results (NAN). (Could be divide by zero.
** ~~~ ** Overflows. Other causes.) Check Input Parameters. Hint: Start from defaults for each object
** ~~~ ** and work forward.
** Severe ** Output:PreprocessorMessage="GroundTempCalc - Basement" has the following Fatal condition:
** ~~~ ** Program terminates due to preceding condition(s).
** Fatal ** Preprocessor condition(s) cause termination.

Might be, but I tried the suggested workaround (below) and they still don't simulate successfully. I'm also surprised that this was a bug in 9.4, but was not corrected in 9.5, 9.6, or 22.1. I updated the IDF to each of these and got the same errors.
Did you ever figure out a solution to this? I am getting the same severe errors. I have tried running multiple code years as well as in Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu environments and none of them are working.
The workaround Scott mentioned above has worked for me, sometimes. I tried it on 3 different computers; it has worked on 2 out of the 3 (all Windows). The workaround is:
Copy the v9.3 basement.exe file over basement.exe in the version you're simulating in - found in EnergyPlusVX-X-X\PreProcess\GrndTempCalc.
Edit: looks like this might've been fixed in 22.1, but I haven't confirmed.
Ah thank you yes I tried that and it is working. I am still getting some errors and warnings but the overall results look like they make sense
