I am a user with very little experience of simulation software trying to predict the thermal behaviour of a large office building with the aid of the Energy Plus plugin for Open Studio (1.5.0 version). I am doing this as a part of my master degree. Firstly, I have tried to build a basic model and the simulation runs without any errors. At the present moment, I have tried to run the simulator for the large building but thats not possible as it interrupts every single time with the following message:
ExpandObjects Started. No expanded file generated. ExpandObjects Finished. Time: 0.256 Script executing from: /private/var/folders/1l/f4r9s0ms40n666jxcnnj7m2w0000gn/T/OpenStudio.dd4423/resources/run/3-UserScript-0 Found argument 'measures_json' with value '[{"arguments":{},"measure":"/Applications/OpenStudio 1.5.0/OpenStudio.app/Contents/share/openstudio-1.5.0/pat/Measures/StandardReports/measure.rb"}]'. Found UserScript 'Report Request'.

Preceding condition(s) cause termination. EnergyPlus Run Time=00hr 00min 1.39sec
Can anyone please help me with that? I really can't tell what the problem might be. Can anyone please explain the error and what might causes it?
Thank you, Despina
