[Equest-users] eQUEST Crashes on Windows 10

[Bishop, Bill]

Hi Damon,
Sometimes eQUEST will crash without first reporting an error. I suggest checking the BDL file to see if an error is reported.
Since the problem is likely related to the water-side inputs, I suggest defining the CHW loop, pump, schedule etc. and any other components associated with the thermal storage before defining the thermal storage system itself.
Regards,
~Bill

Good Day,

I'm adding a thermal storage system into my Equest model.

However, when I get to the 2nd screen for defining the chilled water loop and schedule Equest crashes.

I get the highly annoying Windows error message "Building Energy Simulation Tool has stopped working"

I'm running Windows 10 and have the latest Windows updates installed.

I only get this error message specifically when adding a Thermal Storage system.

I have also restarted my laptop several times.

Has anyone else experienced this error message?

Thanks

Regards
