Real system simulation
I know how to simulate an autosizing simulation. For example, I leave link with Heat Pump' IDF, I get via autosize 12,2 kW, 2.57 m^3/h for heating, and 25,9 kW, 0.34 m^3/h for cooiling.
If I again simulate with 12000 W for heating, and 25000 W for cooling, I get this error:
* Severe * Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed "PTHP COOLING COIL" -- coil bypass factor calculation did not converge after max iterations. * ~~~ * The RatedSHR of [1.000], entered by the user or autosized (see .eio file), * ~~~ * may be causing this. The line defined by the coil rated inlet air conditions * ~~~ * (26.7C drybulb and 19.4C wetbulb) and the RatedSHR (i.e., slope of the line) must intersect * ~~~ * the saturation curve of the psychrometric chart. If the RatedSHR is too low, then this * ~~~ * intersection may not occur and the coil bypass factor calculation will not converge. * ~~~ * If autosizing the SHR, recheck the design supply air humidity ratio and design supply air * ~~~ * temperature values in the Sizing:System and Sizing:Zone objects. In general, the temperatures * ~~~ * and humidity ratios specified in these two objects should be the same for each system * ~~~ ** and the zones that it serves.
I do not undertand why I get error if I use results from E+. I get similar mistake when I simulate real system in a real building.

What exactly are you changing in the model you linked to get this error? I assume your hard sizing the capacity and SHR.
At first, I run model with autosize for:
I get 12,2 kW, 2.57 m^3/h for heating, and 25,9 kW, 0.34 m^3/h for cooilng, in EIO file. If I change autosize fields for this values, I get error.
I'm not sure why you'd want to do that, but try hardsizing SHR too and see if the error goes away.
I get this error Min Rated Vol Flow Per Watt=[4.027E-005], Rated Vol Flow Per Watt=[1.031E-004], Max Rated Vol Flow Per Watt=[6.041E-005]. See Input Output Reference Manual for valid range..
What I'd like to do is to simulate a real system, in a real building. I know how to use autosize; reading EIO file, I know what capacity and equiment I need. However, if I'm analisying, a real heat pump in an existing building, I dont know how to simulate this system in my model.
Could you modify the model to incorporate an 10 kW heat pump, for example, to know how the bulding is responding?
That's a pretty high air flow rate for DX equipment which usually operate at around 400 cfm/ton. Your value of 0.0001031 equates to about 770 cfm/ton, where did that number come from? What are your inputs for capacity and air flow? If you divide air flow by capacity, to get flow per watt, you should be somewhere between 0.00004 and 0.00006.
