<div>It is not finding your building model file when it starts the simulation. GenOpt moves the files to run a simulation so you need to make sure all paths for files are complete.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div> </div>
<div>I'm using Genopt to optimize parameters of solar heating system (first just the collector area and slope). I compiled the input file, defined the variables in genopt i.e. everything as required. bu when I run the optimization i get error message as table where is written:</div>

<div>Trnbuild</div>
<div>Surf-No Description Comment</div>
<div>-1 no OUTPUT's specified please add at least one output</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the Trnsys simulation environment I get output results (the model is properly functioning)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do you have idea what could be the problem?</div>
