About Honeybee's Error "Environment variable name or value too long"

[Toshihide]

Hi, everyone.

When I run an optimization calculation using HoneybeePlus, after the calculation has run to some extent (About 1200 times), I get the error “Environment variable name or value too long” and the calculation stops.

I found a similar problem and discussion with Butterfly in the previous topic (URL below), does Honeybee Plus still have this error?

And if this error still remains, how can I fix it?
Please let me know.

Thank you

Butterfly and Galapagos Optimization

Hi everyone, I’m trying to run an optimization for an Origami structure in Butterfly, in order to maximize wind speed beneath it. As Mostapha Roudsari said here, it is necessary to set interval -1 in the Butterfly_Solution component to visualize only the last value, during the simulation. With this setting, the optimization through Galapagos seems to start in a good way, but after some iterations it stops due to this error on blockMesh component: Runtime error (ArgumentException): Environment…

Hi @Toshihide, can you provide more details? What component gives you the error? Can you provide an screenshot?

Hi @mostapha, thank you for your reply.

I attach screenshot of my grasshopper file and error message.
This error was reported by the HoneybeePlus_Run Radiance Analysis component.
How can I solve this?
