<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>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? <o:p></o:p></p>
