I am trying to set up a model that uses the GroudSlabPreProcessor via an IDF that has the appropriate settings (rather than being ties to AEDG measure settings). I'm getting an error that seems to be related to ExpandObjects not running. Essentially I went ahead set the Boundary consitions to "GroundSlabPreProcessorAverage" assuming it would work out once the remaining IDF data was in place. The OS Output gives the following:
ExpandObjects Started. No expanded file generated. ExpandObjects Finished. Time: 0.218 Script executing from: C:/Users/csimmons/AppData/Local/Temp/OpenStudio.Of7564/resources/run/4-UserScript-0 Found argument 'source_idf_path' with value 'C:\Modeling Central\OpenStudio Projects\St Joseph School\Slab\st joseph slab_unins.idf'. Found UserScript ' Inject IDF Ojbects'. result = true
and the E+ Error file gives the following for each of the surfaces:
* Severe * BuildingSurface:Detailed="SURFACE 79", invalid Outside Boundary Condition="GROUNDSLABPREPROCESSORAVERAGE". * ~~~ * The ExpandObjects program has not been run or is not in your EnergyPlus.exe folder.
I assume the IDF isn't being injected and so the boundary condition becomes invalid. I don't know why the ExpandObjects isn't doing anything though.
