Hi, this is for a class project, and we are told to get help from here so here I am. So I was just building a simple geometry on FloorSpaceJS and imported on OpenStudio and set up some basic parameters. And when I was trying to run the simulation, an error occurred. And sorry it won't let me post an image, so I had to copy and paste the message below.
This is what I got when I clicked Run Simulation:
Initializing workflow. Processing OpenStudio Measures. Translating the OpenStudio Model to EnergyPlus. Processing EnergyPlus Measures. Starting Simulation. EnergyPlus Starting EnergyPlus, Version 9.3.0-baff08990c, YMD=2020.10.27 11:32 **FATAL:Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination. EnergyPlus Run Time=00hr 00min 0.31sec Program terminated: EnergyPlus Terminated--Error(s) Detected. Failed.
Then I went into the eplusout file and found this:
Program Version,EnergyPlus, Version 9.3.0-baff08990c, YMD=2020.10.27 11:32, * Severe * <root>[BuildingSurface:Detailed][Face 1] - Missing required property 'construction_name'. * Fatal * Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination. ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination: ..... Reference severe error count=1 ..... Last severe error=<root>[BuildingSurface:Detailed][Face 1] - Missing required property 'construction_name'. *** Warning: Node connection errors not checked - most system input has not been read (see previous warning). *** Fatal error -- final processing. Program exited before simulations began. See previous error messages. *** EnergyPlus Warmup Error Summary. During Warmup: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors. *** EnergyPlus Sizing Error Summary. During Sizing: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors. *** EnergyPlus Terminated--Fatal Error Detected. 0 Warning; 1 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min 0.31sec
So I guess the error comes from Missing required property 'construction_name'. But I couldn't figure out how to fix this. Can someone please help?
