[Equest-users] FW: DOE2 Batch Processing Error

[Jones, Christopher]

I copy all of text from eQ_Lib.dat into USRLIB.dat. The Usrlib.dat in my eQuest installation is empty.

If you search eQ_Lib.dat you will find “Polyurethane 3in (IN46)” – the first material that throws an error in your .inp file.

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).

Hi Everyone,

I’ve got an issue trying to run DOE-2.2 models from the command prompt using the batch processing script. 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) which helped me get started.

I’m able to run the doe22.bat script, but I’m getting an error when the script runs DOEBDL. 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.

Is there some reference to the library files I need to establish or have missed? Right now I have the .inp file in C:\doe22, the same directory as the doe22.bat file. 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.

Thanks,
Drew
