<DIV>Start in the .BDL file. This is your .INP file as digested by DOE-2 as it does its error checking before allowing the simulation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There should be messages telling you what your problem may be. Or send your .INP and .PD2 files to me and I will give them a quick look.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">
<DIV>I have completed a building in DD wizard. I did my initial set-up of the HVAC system and plants in DD wizard. I completed plant work in Detail Mode. When I compile the file, I do not get any warnings or errors. When I ask for a simulation, eQuest seems to do the load calcs just fine, but when it begins simulation, it states theeis an error, but I do not know what it is, or how to find it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas on what I should do, or where to look for the error?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks </DIV></DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR>
