[Equest-users] Funny Formatting in SIM reports

Thu May 4 09:02:01 PDT 2017

John,
If you open the .pd2 file with a text editor, the program version is shown on the 2nd line. It’s a good habit to check this when you are unsure of the version used to create/edit the model.

Do you guys ever get an eQuest run you ran in 3.64, someone else meddles with it, and you get it back in 3.65 format? Or you get a different Build for 3.65, screwing up your life?

This program STILL has a "cloaking device" over some parts (except for Chief Engineering officer Nicholas Caton) !! Scotty, beam me up !!

•         Document your version/build for mutual benefit with the list.

•         Try confirming the output SIM is the issue (not the SIM viewer) by opening the BIN in a text editor.  If it looks fine in text editor try opening with a SIM viewer from a previous version/build of eQUEST.

•         Moving it around has historically fixed similar issues for some & not others.  Try placing a copy of your project’s .inp file only into a fresh directory, open/initialize using the File/open dialog in a new eQUEST instance, and see if the problem persists on simulating.  Be mindful if this works that you’ll need to re-assingn your weather file (default is some dreadfully pleasant climate zone in California – caused a few scares/chuckles over the years when my energy “disappeared”).  Also be mindful if this works that you’ll lose your wizard-level inputs (pd2) in the process, inclusive of CAD references.

•         If all else fails, commiserate/report here with the list and share a copy of your files with the Hirsch team if you’re comfortable doing so.  It’s clear this is something many are running into and providing the developers more working examples ought to help it get addressed.

•         I’m also Cc’ing Daric since I believe he’s the most experienced expert (if not by choice) in trying to wrestle with such issues.  He may have a few other ideas.

Hi - I'm looking at my output DOE-2 reports and I'm seeing some funny formatting.  I have never encountered this before.  Has anyone else seen it?  And is there something I can adjust in eQuest to get it fixed please?  Screen shot is below...

Thanks,
