<div class="Section1">
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a model that has been crashing a lot but I can’t
track down why. One time it could happen after changing a fan schedule by
an hour, another time by adding baseboard capacities (or even changing capacities
– 1,000 works, 2,000 crashes), or adding OA CFM to a zone (but adding OA/Person
works fine provided its 18 not 16), or about a dozen other changes that I’ve
noticed. Typically it crashes around 18% or 34% simulation
progress. No errors show up in the sim file or elsewhere but it does
create a large (66,888 kb) file called “FOR003” that is unreadable.
Any thoughts? Has anyone run into this before? </p>
