10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Try this. Make a backup of your INP file.
Open the INP file using notepad or some sort of text reader and search for
“boilers”. You should be under the Boilers section between Chillers
and Domestic Water Heaters. Delete the lines with HIR-FPLR and HIR-FT (if they
exist). This will restore default to your performance curves for your boiler.
Save and close and try it now.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>If that doesn’t work, search
“performance curves” and delete the entire curve that you think is
giving you problems. Also make sure you delete anything that is referencing
that specific curve or you’ll run into other problems. Do this by
searching the performance curve name and removing the lines of code that
references it. Note that all this is doing is removing your custom curve and
setting everything to default. You will have to re-create your curve again. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

information on why the error is being caused. Some possibilities are that the
boiler referencing a curve could be misspelt; object names should be no longer
than 32 characters or they get truncated resulting in the first possible error;
“&D” is a predefined default code for mandatory numeric values
(not for string values, I think).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
