<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?  <o:p></o:p></p>
