<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Sharad,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mmmm it has been a long while since I had cause to crack open an ice cold can of v3.64! Refreshing (I seriously kinda miss this Windows 95-era GUI sometimes)!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I first notice, and I’m sure you know well – this is a BIG, complex model. For sheer time-efficiency on initializing/loading/simulation, I have to suggest while you are still in wizards development serious consideration for developing
the different parts of this model as separate projects, then combining their results/outputs later. It will certainly help your productivity and sanity upon encountering and resolving issues like this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The advice you found below to my eyes is specifically suggesting to increase the maximum number of expression dependencies from the default of 8 (which I note is reflected in the above errors). The line highlighted below is where in your
PD2 you can play with that variable:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img width="648" height="588" style="width:6.75in;height:6.125in" id="Picture_x0020_7" src="cid:image005.png@01D42E6F.0F9ECD20"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On changing 8 to 10, I find most of the errors referencing a maximum number of dependencies go away, though you are still stuck with many hits for an error taking the following form:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">*ERROR*****<span style="color:red">[KEYWORD] </span>in <span style="color:red">
[ZONE OR SCHEDULE] </span>has Maximum number of<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> expression dependency lists (999992) exceeded.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">*ERROR****************************************************************************************<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This error appears isolated to all manner of zonal and scheduling input instances in a block towards the end of your INP. I’ve attached the associated BDL for others to review and consider.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I suspect this could mean the wizards are hitting another size-related limit associated with the generation of zonal “hard inputs” and associated scheduling due to sheer size of this project. Perhaps reducing the number of shells covered
in one file (in combination with that MaxExpDeps trick) may allow everything to load smoothly. Worthy of exploration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other thing catching my eye, and I would highlight for the community’s input as I’m coming up short, is that the first errors remaining after the above tweak reference inputs like BRINE-LOOP, BRINE-FLOW, and RINK-RESPONSE. I’m not
sure how such keywords would normally (or accidentally) get engaged from the wizards, but if this means something to you perhaps undoing those associated inputs may help the wizards build the model as well. It sounds like refrigeration voodoo… Did I miss that
you were perhaps using a release of the refrigeration version of eQuest to develop this project?<o:p></o:p></p>

Subject: [Equest-users] Maximum number of expression dependency<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;color:#222222">Hi,<br>
<br>
I am having a problem in my eQUEST model. It shows error "Maximum number of expression dependency lists exceededs". I assume that this is related to the model size. Then I found that You have solved this problem by some some workaround (below):<br>
<br>
1. Editing PD2 file with the following lines -<br>
DetailedModelEdits = 1<br>
ProjTreeType = ( 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 )<br>
ProjTreeID = ( 10240000, 10081500, 10280021, 10640002, 10480018,<br>
10280020 )<br>
ProjTreeLabel = ( "...", "...", "...", "...", "...", "..." )<br>
MaxExpDeps = 10<br>
I don't know where exactly I should insert these lines? I just put these in PD2 file in the first paragraph before the "..".<br>
<br>
2. Blast all "C-" keywords in "eQ Data>\DOE-2\BDLDft.dat". I do't understand this. Shoul I delete just "C-" words in that file or attached words too. For exmaple<br>
"C-Schedule" should be changed to just "Schedule" or I have to delete the complete word "C-SCHEDULE".<br>
<br>
And there are another solution which looks so complex to do:<br>
<br>
- BDL source code mods to increase the limit of exp dep lists,<br>
- removal of some fraction of the expressions contained in your INP<br>
file, and/or<br>
- the addition of Set-Default statements in your INP file that replace<br>
additional BDL default expressions with static values or symbolic<br>
selections.<br>
I don't know how to do it?<br>
<br>
<br>
So can you please help me in this</span><span style="color:#0B5394"> <br clear="all">
