IP: IDF line~230 Error detected in Object=BUILDINGSURFACE:DETAILED, name=FACE 10 Error EnergyPlus Simulation: ** ~~~ ** Field [Construction Name] is required but was blank

1) I'm trying to Run EnergyPlus simulation on .idf that has been generated via exporting OS model using ForwardTranslator. I get this error when I try to run the simulation and I don't know if I need to add/define the "Construction Name" using the Measure script.

2) I'm running the simulation automatically with a python script and would like to parse the simulation results and display them to end user. Any example of how to do that?
