Peak Loads Error: Insufficient memory to continue?

edpmay · September 10, 2024, 9:43am

I’m running into a weird error when attempting to run an ‘HB Peak Loads’ component? I am getting the error “Solution exception:Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program”.

Note that there is plenty of memory available, and the normal ‘HB Annual Loads’ works fine, it is just the ‘Peak Loads’ component which causes the failure:

Environment:

MacOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79)
Rhino Version 8 (8.10.24228.13002, 2024-08-15)
LBT v1.8.41

Had anyone seen this before? Are there any known solutions?

thanks!

Hi @edpmay ,
Running just fine on my machine, as is:

Thanks @AbrahamYezioro , very odd? Must be a MacOS thing?

I have been getting this error consistently on my Mac. When I run the same script on Windows (via Parallels) it runs fine.

Thanks @tomhootman - good to know!

Can I ask: are you running E+ on an ARM Mac? I had all sorts of install issues a few years back, and gave up on Parallels and EnergyPlus - but maybe its working again now? That would be nice if so?

I am running Parallels on an Intel Mac.

Ah, I think I see the cause of the error here now.

Until the error is corrected; for anyone on MacOS who is having this error, it appears that if you provide the EPW file (as opposed to the DDY file) to the component, it does not hit this SQL error, and so it will work as expected:

best,
