Hi, i'm having trouble with coupling obFMU to EnergyPlus. I've been using the step by step guideline on obFMU application guide by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I've created the obFMU files, a IDF file from the OpenStudio tool . When i try to run a EnergyPlus simulation with the IDF file i get this error:

** Severe  ** ExternalInterface/CalcExternalInterfaceFMUImport: Error when trying to instantiate
**   ~~~   ** instance "obm_Office_1" of FMU "obFMU.fmu"
**  Fatal  ** ExternalInterface/StopExternalInterfaceIfError: Error in ExternalInterface: Check EnergyPlus *.err file.

I am using EP version 8.3.1 and obFMU version 1.3.3 Has anyone faced a problem like this before, if yes could you please suggest me how to fix this problem. Thank you
