Paul,
There isn't anything wrong with the *.b17 and once you have got a
*.b17 the *.idf is no longer relevant (unless you need to make
geometry changes or want to use the sketchup result viewer. My guess
would be that the Studio project file (*.tpf) is corrupted. Try
creating a new (empty) Studio project then drag out Type56 (Loads
and Structures: Multi-Zone Building: Type56), then open the External
Files tab and point it toward your *.b17 file. If you want to be
nice to TRNSYS, type the entire path to the *.b17 file.
Best,
David

I created a new TRNSYS project with a 3d multizone
building and the simulation runs with no issues. I then modified
the building in TRNBuild and saved it under a different name.
When I change to the new building (*.b17 file) in Simulation
Studio by altering the path in the "External Files" section of
the Building Type, Simulation Studio crashes.
The error message reads "A problem caused the program to stop
working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you
if a solution is available."
The strange thing is that this happens even if I select the same
*.b17 file that was being used originally i.e. going into
"External Files" and selecting the same file that is already
loaded and working properly.
I am just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem, or
knows where I should start troubleshooting.
I have tested with one of the example building projects and
there is no problem there which would lead me to believe that
there is some problem either with the *.idf file or the *.b17
file. However, this doesn't seem to be the case as the
simulations run without a problem. I have attached both of these
files.
