[Bldg-sim] Radiance and Open studio

[Anna Shadrina]

Dear colleagues,

I am just starting to use Radiance on Windows, I did the basic course on
Linux before (or on the virtual machine on Windows) and used Open studio
plugin for energy plus models.

I am working with Open studio 1.7.0. and have installed Radiance 5.0 on
windows. I have created the simple model in Sketchup and inserted the
illuminance map, glare sensor and daylighting control in the thermal zone.

Nevertheless, during the daylight simulation Open studio does not seem to
detect the certain file "expandobjects 8.2." (the full error list is
attached). Even though I performed "Scan for tools" operation.

On the open studio forum "unmet hours" people seem to report similar
problems, but it was promised to be solved in 1.7 version... Also it was
said that Open studio somehow is only able to locate Energy plus when it is
installed in the default folder. But it has nothing to do with Radiance,
right?..

Has anyone experienced something similar?
Is there any better way to use Radiance on Windows apart from Open studio?

My .OSM model is attached.

Thank you in advance!
