Design Builder to Energy+ export idf file

Hello everyone. I am new to design builder and energyplus. I have a design builder model that works fine running in Design Builder. After I export the file to as an idf file and running on energyplus, the simulation can't complete because of errors showing up in the energyplus simulation. Is there a problem associated with the exporting of the file? Or is it because Design Builder uses an older version of Energyplus.

I guess for matlab cosimulation purposes, and idf file is required.
