exactly the error problem you all have described, mine was eQuest or
win7 asking for a password. The fix which worked for me was to
reinstall it as a single user, just me, can't exactly remember, go into
the compatibility screen and set it to run as XP compatible. Find the
equest.exe file, right click on it and the screen will open if it
doesn't come up in the installation.<br>

yourself on
this forum and I concur with your explanations & comments/advice to
Aaron
and other new users of eQuest. Put very well and sincere. Bruce
stated the reality of the need for accuracy & efficiency in setting
up any
energy model. After foolishly having faith in my eQuest files' ability
to
run smoothly from start to finish, I have adopted the "Save As"
approach for all of my project files, and like Bruce stated, "Never get

hours in without testing and running it many times on the path...the
simulation
at this point is for confirmation your model is running and [free of

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> You did have an error in your electric
rate but obviously if it is not now involved it probably is not the
main
problem. That leaves the roof. If you have several custom floors
when you create them in the DD wizard they will all have roofs. If
they
are stacked you will have embedded roofs if you have not gone in and
removed
them which you can't do in the DD wizard. They will only effect floor
to
floor heat transfer and maybe eQuest will give them a solar load I
don't
know. eQuest will run with them if they are technically
(geometrically)
correct. The problem is you can't see them in the 3D view if they are
covered by other floors and easy visual check to see if they are
geometrically
correct is not possible. That will cause eQuest to crash. You may
be able to cheat a little. eQuest will show external surfaces in a red
outline in the 3D view. If this is may be your problem go to the
building
shell tab to one of the floors and highlight the roof in tree pane.
Switch to your 3D view and hold your control key and with your left
mouse held
down rotate the 3D model. It will switch to wire frame and the roof
surface will be highlighted in red. I can't remember how to turn on
the
wire frame view but that is possible to do as well. Maybe someone
monitoring this will refresh my memory. I think you have a roof
geometry
problem and geometry problems are a pain in the ass.<br>
The other thing I have noticed and I'm not sure quite why
but if there was an error and you have corrected it, the program may
have not
actually accommodated the change yet. My guess is, the program runs in
a
linear fashion start to finish. A change will probably get added to
the
end of the program as a addition or change. When the program is run
again
it is using the original file and then the additions, but the error is
still
there and the program hits it first and crashes. I have found when
doing
major changes it is best just to save the file, close it and re-open
it.
eQuest will then reorder the file and it probably won't crash if you
did
correct the error. Run a simulation and you will get much better error
messages as to what the problem is. I have adjusted my trouble
shooting
technique to this method in the last few weeks and have seen many
errors
disappear once the file is reinitialized. It has saved many hours of
banging my head on the wall.<br>
This is not specifically for you Aaron, just a general
observation (tangent). I have noticed a few guides in the last week or
so
to help new comers but no one has mentioned reinitializing the
project.
It may be an obscure point but I think it saved me about 30% of my
hours on my
latest project. One of the biggest things with eQuest is to get it
running and keep it running as you build your model. Start simple,
initially, heat transfer surfaces are important, zones are important,
windows
are not, schedules are not, utilities are not, constructions are not,
layers
are not, HVAC systems and their zones are not. Geometry is
CRITICAL. eQuest will choke with a vertex error of .01, Carol(e) is
"anal on this point", lol, but she knows what she is talking
about. She and Pasha both agree and no doubt will add wisdom if they
have
any pointers to add. I should add a plug for Nick as well, another
heavy
hauler on this site with major experience beyond his years. Start
simple,
get the box(es), and surfaces correct. Zones initially can be
artificial
with the future HVAC system in mind <u>but also</u> to assist with the
geometry. Specifically, in dealing with other floors and roofs. An
un-named eQuest instructor will attest to this, it is easier to
manipulate your
zoning to assist in your geometry problems and put them together later
to accommodate
your HVAC model than create the surfaces on the fly in detailed edit.
Especially with 40 students watching! eQuest can be humbling even for
experts. NEVER get 30 hours in without testing and running it many
times
on the path. Lots of saves, build your files as well as the model.
The simulation at this point is for confirmation your model is running
and for
error messages. A tiny error in geometry will crash the file. There
is no point doing anything but the bare minimum until the geometry is
correct. It will crash your project with minimal error messages, maybe
none, eQuest will just freeze. Once the geometry is correct keep
adding
to the complexity one step at a time, test and confirm, fix errors,
save, then
the next step. I know it sounds plodding, it is. Methodical is a
much classier word. Efficient is more to the point. I contract so
when everything blows up I don't get paid. I eat the hours for my
mistakes. In the end it is all similar, whether it is the boss
pounding
on the door or the client, the deadline has arrived, eQuest is not
cooperating
and you are ready to toss the computer out the window, your name is
mud.
Plodding is smart.<br>
Sorry for the digression Aaron, the Voodoo thread was
interesting and I didn't get to add my 2 cents worth. I was in a swamp
with alligators at the time. On the other hand I did learn a lesson
about
reinitialization. You learn by doing and making mistakes. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="">It
depends where you are in the process. If you are getting a detailed
sim
report it should open to the errors part of the report. If you aren't
that far open the project BDL or INP files with notepad. They will
list
warnings and errors as they are processed. The error will be at the
end,
there may be contributing errors before. All it really does is tell
you
where it kicked out, but it does provide clues. When you run your
simulation make sure the boxes are checked so it will run through
errors and
warnings. You get better hints this way.<br>
