Problem implementing IDF-File from OpenStudio to EnergyPlus
I am currently attempting to implement an envelope that I created in OpenStudio into EnergyPlus. However, after running the simulation, I encountered two severe errors:
** Severe ** <root>[BuildingSurface:Detailed][Face 0] - Missing required property 'construction_name'.
** Severe ** <root>[FenestrationSurface:Detailed][Face 3] - Missing required property 'construction_name'.
** Fatal ** Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination.
...Summary of Errors that led to program termination:
..... Reference severe error count=2
..... Last severe error=<root>[FenestrationSurface:Detailed][Face 3] - Missing required property 'construction_name'.
************* Warning: Node connection errors not checked - most system input has not been read (see previous warning).
************* Fatal error -- final processing. Program exited before simulations began. See previous error messages.
************* EnergyPlus Warmup Error Summary. During Warmup: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors.
************* EnergyPlus Sizing Error Summary. During Sizing: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors.
************* EnergyPlus Terminated--Fatal Error Detected. 0 Warning; 2 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min 0.19sec
Thus I added "Construction names" for each surface of the building. However after filling in the Construction_names, I encountered 115 severe errors, such as:
** Severe ** FenestrationSurface:Detailed="FACE 625", invalid blank Outside Boundary Condition Object
** ~~~ ** ...when Base surface uses "Surface" as Outside Boundary Condition Object, subsurfaces must also specify specific surfaces in the adjacent zone.
I am unsure about the meaning of the Outside Boundary Condition Object based on the information provided in EnergyPlus. Therefore, I attempted to fill in some of those fields with the same surface used for "Building Surface Name." The result was an additional 171 errors, such as:
** Severe ** Duplicate name found for object of type "FenestrationSurface:Detailed" named "Face 491". Overwriting existing object.
I would greatly appreciate some assistance in resolving these issues.
