<pre class="blue">Hi Hamza,<br><br>eQuest does not often shut down like that. There are two things I have found that will crash (auto-turn off) eQuest. <br>1. There is not enough RAM on your computer. It will use every byte of RAM you can give it!<br>2. It can crash if you are trying to assemble an HVAC configuration the eQuest does not support. <br><br>Here are my questions:<br>1. How many zones does your file have?<br>2. What components are you trying to assemble for the water side HVAC?<br>3. Is your .inp input file still intact; I.e. are all components there when you open the file in Notepad as text? If so, there may be a way to recover your file without starting over from scratch… <br><br>Sheila Sagerer<br>High Performance Building Analyst<br>Ecoworks Studio<br>Sent from my iPhone<br><br>On Apr 25, 2023, at 10:27 AM, Hamza Sohail via Bldg-sim <bldg-sim@lists.onebuilding.org> wrote:<br><br><br>Hi, I am new to e Quest and am working on a project but every time when I create a water side HVAC system, the software crashes( turns off automatically).
