[EnergyPlus_Support] RunSlab Program

Dear All,

I want to use the RunSlab program to calculate the slab temperature. 

I have set up the following E+ objects in my building model IDF:
- GroundHeatTransfer:Control with Run Slab Preprocessor as "Yes"
- GroundHeatTransfer:Slab:Materials
- GroundHeatTransfer:Slab:MatlProps
- GroundHeatTransfer:Slab:BoundConds
- GroundHeatTransfer:Slab:BldgProps
- GroundHeatTransfer:Slab:Insulation
- GroundHeatTransfer:Slab:EquivalentSlab

I have followed the AuxiliaryPrograms.pdf and ran the RunSlab program but it didn't complete successfully. In the error file (the _slab.ger file) there are a lot of severe error messages. I have extracted the first 20 lines from the error file:

Did anyone get the same problem before? Could anyone give me some advice please?

(Note I am using E+ version 7.0.0.36)

Thanks.

Best regards.
