<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Christopher,<span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I've had this happen on occasion when I repeatedly load and reload the same model for some reason or another (e.g. manually editing the INP or PRD files and reopening the model to see the changes within eQuest). The file sizes seem to max
out at 4.5 GB. I find the solution is to delete <b>both </b>large PDL files (projectname.PDL and ~reinitializ.PDL) and then reopen the model. If that doesn't work, try deleting everything but the .PD2, .INP, and .PRD files.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">This is my first project dealing with a building in California. This is a complete office renovation that needs to be compliant with title 24. I started the project in version
3.65 build 7175 with DOE 2.3. I have a good portion of the building complete in detailed mode. The model freezes and closes every time I go to the project data tab in project properties and click CEC Title 24, August 2009 V1 from the dropdown of energy code
compliance. Is there a way to run the compliance in DOE 2.3? I made a quick building in version DOE 2.2 to check and it worked fine. Do I need to convert the existing model to 2.2 to work? If so, how? I tried copying and pasting the INP file of 2.3 to
2.2 and it crashes too. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Is there an easy way around this or do I need to start from scratch? I already have about 40 hours into this model so I’m trying not to resort to this, but I keep running into road
blocks with every attempt. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Also, I just tried to run the simulation and it took about four hours to get to 98% and then froze the computer. The file size is 61.7 gig…. The building isn’t very large so I
have no clue how the file got so large. <o:p></o:p></p>
