<P class=MsoNormal>Hello fellow equest users,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I was wondering if anyone has tried to clear out all unused
parameters prior to running the equest model?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I notice that the software “loads” all the schedules and
parameters; and if deleting them in the .inp file would speed things up.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I tried it with a default sample model, but got various
errors since some items are required for the model to run. Has anyone generated
a script to run to clear all unnecessary items before running the
model?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></P>
