EnergyPlus Terminated with a Fatal Error

Hello !

We are a group of building eng. here in Quebec. For our end of program project, we need to do a simulation of our project. It consist of a complex of solar passive greenhouse.

Since our geometry is relatively complex, we exported a GBXML file from a simple revit version. Maybe this is the cause of the issues but i'm not sure of it since OS was able to run it multiple times before crashing while giving us always the same error code. I hope it's a simple fix, we need it for our project ASAP. I appreciate all the help we could get.

Here's my complete OSM file with the gbxml content.

Thank you a lot,

Have a great day !
