Even with the shorten path (no spaces), the simulation resulted in the same ModelToRad error. In the simulation tree, the only error file is Null job>Ruby (DaylightCalculations.rb)>Output Files> stderr. This error file contained the following text: "DL is deprecated, please use Fiddle DL is deprecated, please use Fiddle ./ModelToRad.rb:129:in <main>': undefined method[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)"

Other than that output file, there was not much else that was populated in the simulation tree.

@rpg777,

Thanks for the answer! I have not forgotten this problem. I tried to install radiance directly onto the C: drive which produced the same results. I did some research about modifying system PATHs using the Environment Variable options within the advance system settings of My Computer. I was kinda over my head so I involved the IT Manager at my firm. He said that the PATH hadn't been written for Radiance at all and that he was going to look into the problem further next week. If Radiance is in fact not installing properly, that could very well be the problem. I will update next week!

Hello,

I am a new OpenStudio user and I am attempting to incorporate daylighting into my model. When I run the simulation using Radiance as the daylight simulation engine, it fails with the following output:

failed to run ModelToRad

I am running Windows 7 with OpenStudio 1.5.0, EnergyPlus 8.1 and Radiance 4.2.2. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Radiance (and scanning for tools in OpenStudio) a few times with no avail.

Also of possible importance, when I install Radiance using the "Add radiance to the system PATH for current user" I get an error that says "Warning! PATH too long installer unable to modify PATH!" But I have also installed it without adding it to the system PATH and I get the same error in OpenSudio.

Any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks, Tim
