Hello,

There is an error when I run OpenStudio. And the tree view shows the error occurred in ExpandObjects.

This error happened when I run 32bit on 64bit computer. But when I remove the 32bit re-install 64bit version, this error is still happen.

Can you help me to solve this problem?

Thank you.

Hello,

Openstudio is not compatible with SketchUp2017. I have finished the trial version of SketchUp Pro 2016. It doesn't leave me Make version after the expiry date. The official website does not offer SketchUp Make 2016.

Where can I download SketchUp Make 2016?

Thank you

I got a problem about OpenStudio running. I am using OpenStudio 1.14.0. When the DDY file is imported, the EnergyPlus simulation can be completed, but the OpenStudio running is failed.

The stderr gives me following error:

DL is deprecated, please use Fiddle

I understand that DDY file is necessary for sizing HVAC system. The problem is: when I add the DDY file Energyplus can be completed without any error but Openstudio is failed and Openstudio result cannot show up.

When the DDY file removed and there is no HVAC system, both of Energyplus and Openstudio can be completed successfully. When the DDY file removed and there is HVAC system, the Energyplus cannot be completed, and the eplusout.err gives me following errs:
