[TRNSYS-users] error when importing trnsys 3d- model in simulation studio

[Adrien JEZEQUEL - ITF]

Hi,

this error also occuried after deleted a thermal zone in skecthup, with 
an idf file updatedfrom a trnbuild exportation.
When you re importthe modified idf file, Trnbuild show  empty thermal 
zone and gives that error.
b17 file is created. You have to delete empty thermal zone directly in 
TRNBUILD.
What you can do :

 1. open trnbuild
 2. File / UpdateTrnsys 3D file
 3. select your idf file and your hemisphere
 4. import your idf file
 5. delete empty zones

I import your idf file with trnbuild and see lots of empty zones. You 
have to delete them.

Best regards
