The simulation has failed because of this fatal error: ** Fatal ** Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination

Hello, I have a problem with running energy simulation:

  1. The simulation has failed because of this fatal error: ** Fatal ** Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination.
    Full text of errors:
    Current document units is in Meters
    Conversion to Meters will be applied = 1.000

I really need your help

If you want to use EnergyPlus 9.6, then you need to use the latest LBT plugin (Ladybug Tools 1.4.0).

Legacy Honeybee is only compatible up to EnergyPlus 9.2.
