Hello,
I am receiving an error, shown below, in my simulation of an aquaponics facility. I used SketchUp to create the building envelope, then OpenStudio to put most of the simulation together (everything from schedules all the way down to the plant loops). Since you can't access the E+ swimming pool object through OpenStudio yet (and I don't know how to write measures yet) I then exported the idf file from OpenStudio and added the swimming pools to the plant loop, then ran the simulation from E+.
* Severe * SetComponentFlowRate: trapped plant loop index = 0, check component with inlet node named=NODE 56
Node 56 is the water inlet node to a swimming pool. There are three pools in this thermal zone, which are set up in parallel on the plant loop. I can usually take a guess at what errors mean and sometimes figure out how to fix them, but in this case I have no idea what the cause is or what a possible solution is. I haven't found any mention of this error elsewhere. I am grateful for any help.
I'm still unsure of when it is necessary to upload my idf file. If it would help let me know and I can upload it.
Thank you.
