Need help with the err. document

Hi thanks in advance for any advise.

I have run a simple model with geomotry created by sketchup, and I add some simple properties to it,such as weather conditiong, construction set.

and then I ran this model, it seems to be succeed, but failed in the last step. Like the following picture. image description

Here is part of the err. document. * Warning * CheckEnvironmentSpecifications: SimulationControl specified doing design day simulations, but no design environments specified. * ~~~ * ...No design environment results produced.

Some of you guys have ran my IDF file, and found no severe errors.@Jim Dirkes

First, I'd like to say it's so kind of you to try your best to help me solve the problem.

But if you guys look into the results of Energyplus carefully, you can find it really wierd.

First, there isn't any ''Building Area'' ! image description](/upfiles/16461112497675422.jpg)

Second, the Envolope part isn't identified by openstutio(or energyplus) too. image description

As a matter of fact, also no ''Site and Source Energy'' in the model too. image description

Also, if you ran the osm file which is equal to the IDF file(osm file is converted into IDF file to achieve the goal of building energy simulation).

you may find the reports of Energyplus and Openstutio conflicts. (Don't forget to drag the ''OpenStutio Results'' from the library) image description

Run the osm file after add the ''OpenStutio Results''. image description

And it shows that ''Envolope Summary'' fails too(just like what the Energyplus Report said) image description

Here is the results.
