Opening IDF generated by OS using EnergyPlus

I developed and run a model in OpenStudio and needed to access the IDF file. I tried 2 approaches: 1. Double click the (in.IDF) file from ...run\2-ModelToIdf-0. I got this first warning image description Continued but the results has the following errors "Program Version,EnergyPlus-Windows-64 8.1.0.009, YMD=2015.08.03 10:12,IDD_Version 8.1.0.009 *** IDF Context for following error/warning message: *** Note -- lines truncated at 300 characters, if necessary... *** 4779 Sizing:System, *** indicated Name=Packaged Rooftop Heat Pump *** Only last 10 lines before error line shown..... *** 4791 Yes, !- 100% Outdoor Air in Cooling *** 4792 Yes, !- 100% Outdoor Air in Heating *** 4793 0.0085, !- Central Cooling Design Supply Air Humidity Ratio {kgWater/kgDryAir} *** 4794 0.008, !- Central Heating Design Supply Air Humidity Ratio {kgWater/kgDryAir} *** 4795 DesignDay, !- Cooling Design Air Flow Method *** 4796 0, !- Cooling Design Air Flow Rate {m3/s} *** 4797 , !- Supply Air Flow Rate Per Floor Area During Cooling Operation {m3/s-m2} *** 4798 , !- Fraction of Autosized Design Cooling Supply Air Flow Rate *** 4799 , !- Design Supply Air Flow Rate Per Unit Cooling Capacity {m3/s-W} *** 4800 DesignDay, !- Heating Design Air Flow Method * Severe * IP: IDF line~4800 Invalid Number in Numeric Field#13 (Zone Maximum Outdoor Air Fraction), value=DESIGNDAY, in SIZING:SYSTEM=PACKAGED ROOFTOP HEAT PUMP * Warning * IP: Note -- Some missing fields have been filled with defaults.

  1. Following the path C:\Program Files\OpenStudio 1.7.0\share\openstudio\EnergyPlusV8-2-0 to open EnergyPlus Version 8.2 and call the said file (in.IDF) but got this error image description.

Any idea?
