Default Systems Analysis workflows missing location

imarqbim — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 14:14:11 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am struggling with the energy optimisation in Revit. I have all set up as the Revit documentation establish. But when I execute the "System Analysis" it shows me in the dialog "The folder you selected does not contain any workflows ¡. Click File > Options button and on the File Locations tab, select a different folder". I followed this steps but I do not find anything. I also looked for any file with the extension ".osw" file in my drive and i did not find nothing.

I am using Revit 2020, and it is up to date attending to the Autodesk Access App

Thanks!

These are what I have set in my Revit 2020

C:\Program Files\NREL\OpenStudio CLI For Revit 2020\workflows\Annual Building Energy Simulation.osw

C:\Program Files\NREL\OpenStudio CLI For Revit 2020\workflows\HVAC Systems Loads and Sizing.osw

Yes, those files are supposed to be there. But in mi drive there is no NREL folder and searching in all my drive there are not any osw file.

I want to know if there is any repository or download link for those osw files in order to generate manually the path. Or if there is a way to update revit for generating those paths and files.

Thanks

Are you on version 2020.1? It was released in that version...if you do, then based on this forum post it sounds like you may need to unistall/reinstall.

Finally I uninstalled Revit 2020 and I installed Revit 2024 for getting advantage of all the new features it has. This time all the Systems analysis workflows installed themselves the way they should, so I can imagine if I reinstalled RVT 2020 my problem would be solved the same way.

Thanks for your attention and your answer speed to my problem.

regards from Spain!
