Goodmorning (for the Italian People!),
We tried to entry the "autosize" option in all the fields where it's 
required, then we saved the new file and simulated it. EP stopped 
itself, when it met the TRIQUADRATIC CURVE, that we suppose it would be 
designed just for the microCHP module.
The resulting error message is the following:

  "IDF parsing error:
   Object type not recognized: CURVE: TRIQUADRATIC

   It appears on line: CURVE: TRIQUADRATIC,
   Line number: 215 (and also for the next line 216, 217 and so on)

   This error may be caused..."

We tried to correct the IDF file with the text editor (notepad), but it 
seems to be right, without any mistake... and so we don't know what we 
could do! Have you any suggestion?

Thanks a lot for your tips.

Bye
Ste & Teo
