Dear all,
I want to run Radiance using OpenStudio. However, I am getting this error "failed to run ModelToRad". I have read all the answers so far and did all the steps below:
-Install Radiance in a nice short path (c:/). -Choose a very simple name without space or punctuation for the OpenStudio's file as well as its path -Scan tools to find the routs to Radiance, EP and Ruby -Installed EP to a default directory (I suspect I did this step wrong)
Could you please explain why I am still getting this error? The model I am runing is a very simple box. I am using EP 8.2, OpenStudion 1.7, and Radiance version 5.0.a.3.
FYI
