| 2016-04-17 02:35:24 -0500 | answered a question | Error "Construction Name is required but was blank" Sort of. I had created a construction set, I did select it in Open Studio, I assigned all of the constructions in Open Studio a construction from that construction set. What I didn't do was select the whole model and then assign the all of the constructions to that Set using the "Set Attributes Tool" in Skecthup. All working now. Cheers, Phil. |

| 2016-04-02 23:43:23 -0500 | asked a question | Error "Construction Name is required but was blank" I have created custom constructions and materials as I work in NZ and none of the standard libraries elements will work for me, but when I run simulations none of my constructions come through. The only way I can get around this is to manually input all of the surface and sub-surface constructions one by one in SU. This is extremely time consuming. I notice if I drag standard constructions out of the library and drop them into the construction sets EP recognizes them right away. Does anyone have an answer for this? |

I have imported the IDF file (legcy version) it seems to run a simulation but there are no material properties. The interior temperatures don't seem to be affected by the walls/ceiling at all. I am tempted to re-enter all of the material properties through Open Studio but I don't want to waste time that my predecessor spent building up the model. I have since run through it again and it appears the material properties are present but I have to go into Open Studio and re-sssign them to the walls/windows, etc.. |

| 2014-11-07 21:48:23 -0500 | asked a question | Why don't my construction assembly values show up in my simultation while they are clearly input into in my .idf I am new to Open Studio. I have taken over the research at a University where the last research assistant was running simulations of a model built in Sketchup. He previously input the construction assemblies in Energy Plus. I have his .idf file, although I am using a completely different version of Open Studio, he was using legacy, but when I run a simulation there are no r-values for my walls/ceilings, etc... Help Anyone? |
