[EnergyPlus_Support] Questions on Reported Variables

["anarui.oliveira" <anarui.oliveira@xxxxxxxxx>]

Can anyone help me figure out:

- Why "System Node VolFlowRate" might be reporting for some nodes, and 
not for others (the nodes' names were copied from the corresponding 
equipments), both air and water nodes; is this variable valid for all 
nodes that can be found in equipments' configuration?
- I have a lot of variables selected. Is there a limit of reported 
variables per file?

- What exactly are the "Calc Des Air Flow Rate" and "UserDes Air Flow 
Rate" reported in ".eio" files (I looked up the documentation, but 
couldn't find the description)?
Whether I set it to autosize or enter the hard values manually for 
airflow (in zone sizing, unit ventilator, cooling coil and 
fan:OnOff), "UserDes Air Flow Rate" is reporting:
- for the heating coil, the value(s) entered, or the value in zone 
sizing object (similar or higher than "Calc Des Air Flow Rate");
- for the cooling coil, a value different from those entered, different 
from that on zone Sizing object, and LOWER than "Calc Des Air Flow Rate"
.... and I can't check what the simulation is actually using for 
cooling, because those nodes' flows are not showing up in the Results 
file... 

Best Regards,
Ana Rui.
