I created an OpenStudio model with a horizontal ground heat exchanger, but OpenStudio isn’t allowing input of “Undisturbed Ground Temperature Model” in the object “OS:GroundHeatExchanger:HorizontalTrench”. The field is greyed-out and can’t be selected.
The model simulates properly (no crashing) when using default entries for a vertical ground field, but when I switch it for a horizontal ground field and simulate the model it crashes with the following message: “[BOOST_ASSERT] <2> Assertion modelObject failed on line 175 of class openstudio::model::ModelObject __cdecl openstudio::model::detail::GroundHeatExchangerHorizontalTrench_Impl::undisturbedGroundTemperatureModel(void) const in file D:\OSN\src\model\GroundHeatExchangerHorizontalTrench.cpp.”
Based on this background, can somebody explain what might be wrong with my model to prevent it from simulating a horizontal GSHP field? Is there an input in OpenStudio that will allow me to select an “Undisturbed Ground Temperature Model”? Is the field supposed to be greyed-out?
Can OpenStudio simulate horizontal ground heat exchangers?
(There's a similar question from about 7 years ago--suggesting that there was a problem, but followed by discussion of the problem having been fixed. Perhaps the problem has been reintroduced?)
