<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">At first, I tried copying the text replacing the text in the usrlib.dat folder in the …\doe22 directory with the text from the eQ_Lib.dat file in the …\eQuest 3-64 Data\DOE-2
folder. That didn’t change anything. Eventually I found out that the library entries triggering errors in the BDL file were not present in the BDLLIB.dat file. However, they were in the original userlib.dat file. I copied the library entries for the missing
components (which were some construction materials, a water heater performance curve, and all the hourly report library entries) into the BDLLIB.dat file, and the simulation ran without a hitch:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I’m not sure what the DOE2 scripts are doing with the library files, since the same entries are missing in the eQuest folder’s BDLLIB file, and yet running the simulation in
eQuest works perfectly. Since the simulation now executes from the command line successfully, the problem is solved for the moment, though I don’t feel any less confused about what’s going on. And unfortunately, the simulation doesn’t appear to run significantly
faster, since the total elapsed time was still over 4 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Still, thanks for all your help and suggestions. Despite my ongoing confusion, I feel like I’ve learned a lot about what goes on behind the scenes in DOE2. And if anyone has
any insights as to why appending missing library entries to the BDLLIB file fixed this run, I’d love to hear them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I’ve got an issue trying to run DOE-2.2 models from the command prompt using the batch processing script. The .inp file is rather large (about 47,000 lines) and I’m hoping to
get the simulations to run a little faster by bypassing the eQuest interface. I’d like to thank Ben Brannon and Joe Huang for this thread (<a href="http://energy-models.com/forum/run-equest-file-command-line-doe2">http://energy-models.com/forum/run-equest-file-command-line-doe2</a>)

layers which say “Symbol Previously Undefined”, which seem to be in reference to the materials which compose the layers. However, the layers all come directly from the DOE-2 library files.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
