Conversion from v6 to current (v23)

Hello,

I have been trying to convert a very old IDF file from v6. I decided to follow 2 steps:


Step 1: v6 to v8.4 Using the Multiple IDF Version Conversions https://energyplushelp.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/67000682944-multiple-idf-version-conversions-readme

It seems that worked fine


Step 2: v8.4 to v9.0 and from v9.0 Using this, copied the pre-processing libraries under the appropriate folder for EnergyPlusV23-2-0: https://energyplushelp.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/67000728453-windows-programs-for-converting-v8-4-0-to-v9-0-0-idf-files


  • Conversion 8.4 => 8.5
  • Conversion 8.5 => 8.6
  • Conversion 8.6 => 8.7
  • Conversion 8.7 => 8.8
  • Conversion 8.8 => 8.9

It seems that worked fine


  • Conversion 8.9 => 9.0
  • Conversion 9.0 => 9.1
  • Conversion 9.1 => 9.2
  • Conversion 9.2 => 9.3

I get multiple warnings:

* Warning * IP: IDF line~66143 Obsolete object=AirTerminal:SingleDuct:Uncontrolled, encountered. Should be replaced with new object=AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:NoReheat


  • Conversion 9.3 => 9.4
  • Conversion 9.4 => 9.5
  • Conversion 9.5 => 9.6

* Severe * IP: IDF line~66602 Did not find "AirTerminal:SingleDuct:Uncontrolled" in list of Objects

plus a number of warnings of the type:

* Warning * Object=Sizing:Zone, name=B1 N Meeting rms, entered with less than minimum number of fields. * ~~~ * Attempting fill to minimum. * Warning * Object=Sizing:Zone, name=B1 NE Meeting rms, entered with less than minimum number of fields. * ~~~ * Attempting fill to minimum. * Warning * Object=Sizing:Zone, name=B1 E DL Lobby, entered with less than minimum number of fields. * ~~~ * Attempting fill to minimum.


  • Conversion 9.6 => later versions

Nonetheless all IDF files get written / saved. I have tried opening the 22.3 IDF file within Honeybee for Grasshopper and I got the error message: The IDF is from EnergyPlus version 9.2. plus a number of other conversion errors
