Error During Energy Analysis Simulation - Revit 2016

Hello,

 

I am trying to run the Energy Analysis Simulation on the Autodesk Revit Sample File “rac_advanced_sample_project.rvt” as is in the tutorial Revit Advanced Concepts 2016: Topic 3 - Site Tools and Design Analysis; Energy and Sun.  I keep getting the error messages below.  I downloaded the sample file this past Friday morning.  (https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/getting-started/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/...)  I am running Revit 2016.  Attached are screen shots of the error messages. Please advise.  Thank you.

I tried reproducing the behavior you described by going through the following steps:
1. Launch Revit 2016 (Update 7 for R2)
2. Opened rac_advanced_sample_project.rvt (I used the sample files included with the Revit installation, instead of downloading: Application Button -> Open -> Sample File)
3. Go to default 3D view.
4. Start Energy Analysis.

 

However, I'm not seeing the scripting error, or unhandled exception.

Can you verify if you have the latest update installed for Revit?

Hi Lance,

 

When I click "About" it shows Build: 16.0.490.0, 20150714_1515(x64).

 

Is that the latest update?  If not, how do I get the updates?

 

Thank you

Lance,

 

I called my Autodesk Rep and he showed me how to get the updates.  Hopefully the updates will take care of the issues.

 

Thanks for your help!
