<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Lou,<br>
<br>
I used to run eQuest on a laptop that had an i5 processor (2.4Ghz) with 8 GB RAM. It simulated slower, but ran fine. In the past I’ve come across modeling irregularities that have prevented the model from simulating. Typically this is called out my the program
and you get an error message / “simulation terminated” but sometimes the model will just crash.<br>
<br>
Is your model crashing / force quitting out of eQuest, or something else? Could you screenshot the error message?<o:p></o:p></p>
