[Radiance-openstudio] OpenStudio on OSX 10.8

Wed Nov 7 11:44:25 PST 2012

Hi Rob,
I'm using OpenStudio 0.9.3, EnergyPlus 7.1.0
Radiance is installed in c drive;

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByEvb-Y7hX3xQlNZbl9LWE1YeFE

The error I'm receiving is just that the simulation has failed:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByEvb-Y7hX3xUzdjUkZwNFdab1U

Actually I did follow the steps as shown in Martin message.

Thanks

Khalid

Hi Khalid,

Can you tell me more about your setup? OpenStudio version, EnergyPlus
version, how is Radiance installed, and what error(s) you are experiencing?

Hi, Martin
I’m facing the same problem. I did try to do the simulation through
simulation, however I did not succeed.
I just want to know whether you manage to solve the problem or not.

Thanks

Khalid

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:

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

Found EnergyPlus.

failed to run ModelToRad

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

---------------- 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

Subject: [Radiance-openstudio] OpenStudio on OSX 10.8

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
