[Radiance-openstudio] OpenStudio on OSX 10.8

Sun Nov 4 01:06:22 PST 2012

Hi Rob,

thank´s for your advice.

The re-run of "scan for tools" only shows the one EnergyPlus 7.1 installation plus radiance and ruby . There is no other version of anything, this is a complete fresh installation (see my first mail in this thread).

Some more infos to the error:

---------------- File stdout:

Setting RAYPATH: /usr/local/radiance/lib /usr/local/radiance/bin

Appending PATH: /usr/local/radiance/bin

?ruby -I ?/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8? -I ?/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/powerpc-darwin12.0? -I ?/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/universal-darwin12.0? -I ?/Library/Ruby/Site? -I ?/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8? -I ?/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/universal-darwin12.0? -I ?/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby? -I ?/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8? -I ?/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin12.0? -I ?/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/universal-darwin12.0? -I ?.? -I ?/Library/Ruby/Site/? -I ?/Library/Ruby/Site/openstudio? -I ?/Library/Ruby/Site/lib?  ?./ModelToRad.rb? /private/var/folders/30/8y6hrx_12fs91f5ls6rs38dw0000gn/T/qt_temp.biC335/resources/run/0-Ruby/in.osm ?

no sql file given, running EnergyPlus...

Looking for EnergyPlus at /Applications/EnergyPlus-7-1-0

Found EnergyPlus.

failed to run ModelToRad

---------------- End file stdout

---------------- File stderr:

./ModelToRad.rb:166:in `create?: Unable to locate file in search paths (RuntimeError)

from ./ModelToRad.rb:166

---------------- End file stderr

Any idea what is wrong or missing?

Thank you very much

Martin

Hi Martin,

The first thing I would do is to re-run "scan for tools" in the OS app (under the File  menu). Make sure EnergyPlus 7.1 is there, and then remove as a tool any other versions of EnergyPlus that may show up. Generally those shouldn t matter, but we have seen cases where having an old version prevented the simulation from running.

Hi Rob,

thank you very much for your instructions. I just did the complete installation (EnergyPlus 7.1, Sketchup 8, Radiance 4.2.a and Openstudio 0.9.3).

I then followed very closely your tutorial about OpenStudio New Features - Radiance Integration. But the run failed (see https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27495200/Pic2.png).

Just in case, I have uploaded also my example file (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27495200/office2.zip).

In Sketchup, when closing the preference window there is a warning about the path to EnergyPlus(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27495200/Pic1.png). But the tools seem to be recognized (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27495200/Pic3.png).

Any idea what is going wrong?

Thanks and best regards

Hi Martin (your English is just fine),

1. I m fairly certain we have some German/Austrian OpenStudio users...
2. Ruby 1.8.7 works just fine with OpenStudio -- in fact, yours is the same setup as I have (OSX10.8 + Ruby 1.8.7)
3. The install doc you are working off of is outdated (see #4).
4. The Perl install directive is only for people running OpenStudio on Windows; OSX and Linux users most likely already have Perl installed (as well as Ruby).

What version of OpenStudio are you trying to install? I highly recommend installing the latest iteration version, which is 0.9.3. That installer can be downloaded from the Developers tab on the OpenStudio website:

http://openstudio.nrel.gov/developers

Direct link to Mac installer:
http://openstudio.nrel.gov/accept/file/1162

Once you have that version installed, let us know how you make out. If you still have problems, please post some specifics about the nature of the problem.

Cheers,

- Rob

Hello,

this is my first mailing to this list. Sorry for my bad English, I am located in Austria.

I try to setup Open Studio with the radiance functionality on my Macbook. After a series of trials with no success I start a new attempt and try to follow the available instructions as close as possible.

I just did a fresh installation of OSX 10.8 on a separate partition.

1. question: This is a German OSX version, could that lead to any problems?

2. question: OSX 10.8 comes with Ruby 1.8.7. The "Radiance_Installation_Instructions_0_9_0.pdf" says "Install RUBY 1.8.6" so ist 1.8.6 required?

If yes, are there any hints how to downgrade to Ruby 1.8.6?

3. question: The installation sequence according to "Radiance_Installation_Instructions_0_9_0.pdf" seems to be reverse to the sequence described in the "Installation Instructions" on the Open Studio Webpage. The notes for OS X on that webpage also tell that Ruby 1.8.6 or 1.8.7 is supported, which comes back to question number 2.

4. question: "Radiance_Installation_Instructions_0_9_0.pdf" tells to do a separate Perl installation (ActivePerl is recommended). Is this true also for OSX?

Many thanks for any help on my way.

Best regards

Martin Klingler
