I download a prototype model for a large office space from the DOE website and opened the .idf file in sketchup using the openstudio plugin. When the model opened in sketchup i was met with this error:
After bypassing the error I proceeded to assign a construction set and save the model anyway as an OSM file and use the openstudio application to open it. In the application I selected the appropriate climate zones and design days. After that I tried to run a simulation assuming the .idf file already has construction sets, mechanical systems, thermal zones, etc. assigned. When running the simulation I got 10 errors:
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to simulate the idf files from the DOE website in the openstudio application?
