I used the model created in Openstudio 1.12.0, and re-ran it in Openstudio 2.0.0. Then I put it into PAT and added measures which were also worked in old version (1.12.0). However, when I ran locally, it always told me "Server Error". Could someone tell me why the problem was caused and how to solve it? Thanks.
