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

[Peter Worley]

Hi All,

As an update, the problem seemed to somehow be associated with a bad (?) circulation loop that I created. After deleting the loop, and its associated equipment, I'm able to create and copy systems normally. I don't really know what, specifically, caused the crashes. As such, it's not so much solved as avoided, and that will do for now! Thanks to those who responded.

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
