[EnergyPlus_Support] ReadVarsESO/.eso error

["chibimoy25@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am running simulations of prototype models found on the Department of Energy site (https://www.energycodes.gov/development/residential/iecc_models) and trying to use ReadVarsESO to extract the hourly outputs.  However, the simulation does not create the .eso or .mtr output files needed for ReadVarsESO to run.  This is the error message when trying to execute ReadVarsESO:

ReadVarsESO program starting.

Requested ESO file=eplusout.eso

does not exist.  ReadVarsESO program terminated.

ReadVarsESO program terminated.

ReadVarsESO program starting.

Requested ESO file=eplusout.mtr

does not exist.  ReadVarsESO program terminated.

ReadVarsESO program terminated.

 

Another forum speculated that this is due to version compatibility (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/bcvtb/YHMvBdFIKAU/kZUXLiGpdv0J) 

The model files I'm using are in V5.0, and I have already used IDFVersionUpdater to convert the files to V8.1 but still am facing the same errors.  When I play around with Energyplus example files, I am able to locate .eso files and execute ReadVarsESO.

Any idea on what is causing the problem? Thank you in advance.

May
