EnergyPlus freezes during simulation for a specific orientation

Hello everyone,

Can anyone tell me why my simulation hang/freezes then running a North-oriented building simulation? I am running several simulations on the same building with different orientations, window sizes, and glass panes. But for then, running a simulation for the building with a north orientation and specific window size, the simulation freezes.

I use Energyplus version 9.3.0 and have tried to update the file to version 9.6.0, but it still doesn't work for this specific file. Furthermore have discovered that if I add 0.1 degrees to the orientation, the simulation run, but I would preferably want it to run without needing to add some degree to the orientation.

I have added some files that work and file that does not. The problem file is named "smallOffice__WFR35__N__MSF6014__3Layer__POPXN.idf"

The files can be found here: [https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjPYoTdFS-gXhMwVu...]

Cheers Rasmus

Excellent, thanks are looking into it. Then I run the file (smallOffice__WFR35__N__MSF6014__3Layer__POPXN.idf) in energy plus runner it just freezes. But will look into whether the construction is the problem. Did you get the same message if you ran another of the IDF files?
