[Equest-users] FW: DOE2 Batch Processing Error

[Daniel Knapp]

Try copying the eQUEST library file (from \Documents\eQUEST 3-65 Data\DOE-2\Usrlib.dat) to the DOE2 directory (C:\doe22\exent\USRLIB.dat).

The .inp file is rather large (about 47,000 lines) and I’m hoping to get the simulations to run a little faster by bypassing the eQuest interface. I’d like to thank Ben Brannon and Joe Huang for this thread (http://energy-models.com/forum/run-equest-file-command-line-doe2 <http://energy-models.com/forum/run-equest-file-command-line-doe2>) which helped me get started.

When I open up the BDL file, I get a series of errors in the exterior construction layers which say “Symbol Previously Undefined”, which seem to be in reference to the materials which compose the layers. However, the layers all come directly from the DOE-2 library files.

I’ve attached the .inp file I’m trying to process, and below are excerpts from my command line and the BDL file generated when I executed the script.
