2021-05-08 17:33:43 -0500 marked best answer Empty eplusout.err File

Hello,

I'm working on a OpenStudio Energy Model as a school project. My team and I have finished most of the model but received different errors that prevented the simulation from running. Using this forum as a resource, we were able to work through most if the errors that we received, but after running the model the last time, the .err file was blank and the model failed to run. I am unsure where to go next. What could be the reason for the .err file to be left blank? The model is a two story classroom/laboratory building. We are using Ideal Air loads for the initial analysis.
Here is a google drive link to the model. OSModel Thank you

2021-04-13 19:20:42 -0500 marked best answer OpenStudio Design Day Conditions

Can I change the design day to 1% annual cumulative frequency dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures for cooling conditions? When I import a .ddy file the default cooling design day conditions are set to .4%. Is there a way to change this? or does the temperature, humidity, wind solar, etc. data for the 1% design condition have to be entered manually in a custom design day?

My workaround was to just make a custom design day based on the weather file, however there was some confusion on what to enter for the "Humidity Indicating Conditions At Maximum Dry Bulb" for the Enthalpy "Humidity Indicating Type" design day. The weather file has the value in J/kg. When I looked up the conversion for IP units it says that it should be in BTU/lb (as expected), but the autocalculated values in this field are not calculated using the J/kg to BTU/lb conversion factor found in the Eplus documentation

I am modeling a warehouse that is a single space but needs to be broken into multiple thermal zones. I have created the space and zones and have downloaded the Air Wall Zone Mixing measure from the BCL. When I go to apply the measure from the apply measure now window, the modeler description and input fields are empty. Is this an issue with the new version of OpenStudio? I am using OpenStudio Application version 1.1.0 and openstudio SDK version 3.1.0. The measure says its compatible with OS versions 2.8 and later.
