Hi
I am trying to calculate an annual consumption of a room as shown below, but I face this error:
The simulation has not run correctly because of this severe error:
** Severe ** IP: IDF line~1049 Invalid Number in Numeric Field#1 (View Factor to Ground), value=WINDEXPOSED, in BUILDINGSURFACE:DETAILED=R2F1
Thanks for recommendations.
Hi, @EhsanFouladi
Acoording to your description, your geometry is curved surface. It is very diffculty to handle it using EnergyPlus. I suggest you simplity the geometry to some panel.
Based on the error this is an error in how the surfaces are written to idf file.
-
Which component are you using to run the energy simulation? (EnergyPlus or OpenStudio)
-
What is the version of EnergyPlus or OpenStudio? I wonder if this is because the new schema that was also causing import issues. cc: @chris
