<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US style="COLOR: black">I am simulating a multi-layer glazing system for a 25-floor office building. The system physically consists of 3 components, the outermost single clear glazing, glass-between blinds, and the innermost double low-e glazing. This configuration has to translate into 7 layers according to the layer-by-layer method in DOE-2.2. After creating applicable codes in the inp file and running the equest interface, I received an error information without simulation results:</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Unicode MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US style="COLOR: black">I set 4 windows for the 4 parameter zones each floor, I still have 100 windows to model. I am wondering if equest allows only 40 windows to be modeled by layer-by-layer method, or I have to run the simulation with DOS batch file. Please advise any solutions.</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Unicode MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
