[EnergyPlus_Support] Compact HVAC simulation warnings
I've created a simple 13-zone model in which 5 of the zones are served
by a central VAV system (created using COMPACT HVAC:ZONE:VAV and
COMPACT HVAC:SYSTEM:VAV) objects, and 8 of the zones are served with
fan coils (created using the COMPACT HVAC:ZONE:FAN COIL object). At
the bottom of this message is some code showing how I've configured
these objects for typical zones.
My problem is that I'm getting the following warnings in some abundance:
1. ** Warning ** SolveAirLoopControllers: Maximum iterations (50)

2. ** Warning ** SimHVAC: Maximum iterations (20) exceeded for all

Are these errors avoidable? If so, what can be done to prevent them
from occuring? Or, alternatively, will they significantly affect the
accuracy of the simulation, or can I more-or-less ignore them? Any
help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Josh
