Hello all, when I use the run energy simulation components in HB, it always crashes and shows:
The simulation has not run correctly because of this severe error:
** Severe ** checkSubSurfAzTiltNorm: Outward facing angle of subsurface differs more than 90.0 degrees from base surface.
The simulation has failed because of this fatal error:
** Fatal ** GetSurfaceData: Errors discovered, program terminates.
I have tried different visions of Energyplus and use the simplest geometry (a cube) to test, but the results didn’t change Error file1.gh (501.7 KB)
I am not an expert in HB, but for what I see on your file, you need to add another component after creating your HB_zone : setEPzoneLoads and then create a schedule for your zone.
After that you have to link this two component to your runEnergySimulation :
I’m suspecting you have a units problem. Are you sure the model is set in meters (in Rhino)?
Since you didn’t internalized your geometry cube i define mine with your file and it is working just fine.
-A.
Thanks for your reply, sorry, I forgot to internalized my geometry, but I am sure the model is set in meters. I internalized the geometry in this gh file. Error file1.gh (503.1 KB)
Thanks for your reply, but could you please upload a screenshot of the GH file, cause I just beginning to learn HB and I am not familiar with these two components you mentioned, thank you for that.
That’s weird, I wonder whether it is because I forgot to install some necessary plugins. I just follow the instructions of Honeybee-Honeybee components and installed Daysim, Energy plus, Openstudio, Radiance, and Therm. Did I miss any plugins?
