[Equest-users] eQUEST crashes on "create new HVAC system" (noapparent errors)

[Otto Schwieterman]

Peter, 

 

I have ran into the problem before. My only solution was to go into the
.inp file and copy a HVAC system then go back to the detailed edit mode
and modify the HVAC system. When this happened to me before I was not
able to resolve the issue but the file ran fine.

Hi Peter,

It sounds like you've come across a weird one here. If you're open to
sending your files to us, or to me, I can try to see if it works for me.
Another idea is to open your .pd2 file in notepad to see if anything
looks weird in it.

Hi All,

 

When I try to create a new HVAC system, eQUEST (v 3.63, build 6510)
closes with no error message or warning. I'm in the detailed edit mode
and making 99% of my changes in there (as opposed to editing the INP
directly). I've made no changes to the INP since the last time I was
able to create a new system (so I don't expect there to be any random
errors in there). Strangely, the simulation runs fine, with no errors. 

 

I've tried restarting eQUEST, restarting my computer, and checking
through my BDL file. I've tried creating a new system by copying an
existing one, and also creating from scratch. I've also tried deleting a
system and creating a new one (again via copy and create from scratch),
to see if I've hit some sort of HVAC system limit (I have 33 unique
systems) - no luck there either. 

 

Has anyone run into this type of error before? Any suggestions on things
to try?

 

Regards,

Pete
