Error with earth tube component

grasshopper honeybee-legacy

Hello,

I am having a problem with the earth tube honeybee component. when I connect the HBZone the component shows an error that says:

  1. Solution exception:No se puede encontrar una parte de la ruta de acceso ‘C:\Program Files\OpenStudio 1.12.0\share\openstudio\EnergyPlus-8-5-0PreProcess\CalcSoilSurfTemp\exeinputs.txt’.

“A part of the access route can`t be found”

Could somebody please help me. I`ve tried in other computer and the same thing happens. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a problem with the component?.

Would you know of another way to model an earth tube?

Thanks in advance.

I don´t know if this helps.

Based on the error I think it’s happening because Honeybee finds the EnergyPlus folder under OpenStudio installation on your machine which is a stripped down version of EnergyPlus installation and doesn’t have the files that Anton is using for modeling earth-tube.

Hello Mostapha. Thanks for the response. I am sorry but I am not very savvy in this topic. Should I reinstall OpenStudio?. Or what should I do?

Hi Mohammed.

I fixed this recently so you are using an outdated version, until my latest pull request gets merged find a working copy attached here. It will work with the Export to OpenStudio component and Run E+ component
