color:black'>When I try to create a new HVAC system, eQUEST (v 3.63, build 6510)
closes with no error message or warning. I’m in the detailed edit mode
and making 99% of my changes in there (as opposed to editing the INP directly).
I’ve made no changes to the INP since the last time I was able to create
a new system (so I don’t expect there to be any random errors in there). Strangely,
the simulation runs fine, with no errors. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";
color:black'>I’ve tried restarting eQUEST, restarting my computer, and checking
through my BDL file. I’ve tried creating a new system by copying an
existing one, and also creating from scratch. I’ve also tried deleting a
system and creating a new one (again via copy and create from scratch), to see
if I’ve hit some sort of HVAC system limit (I have 33 unique systems) –
no luck there either. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
