style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I have found that this is usually a cause
of a missing component or something that was improperly referenced. It could be
a thermal zone that is missing or a PSZ having an unconditioned zone as the
control zone. Last week it was custom geothermal field that I didn’t
define properly. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

error, looking for items in the air-side or water-side HVAC that would cause
the crash. I have found that it is not something that is undersized but rather
a component not being where it should be. I have never found a file that would
report the problem.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
