[EnergyPlus_Support] fully insulated slab

["kristin1goovaerts" <kristin1goovaerts@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, We are trying to model a bungalow building into energy plus. We 
used the preprocessor GrndTempCalc to calculate the ground 
temperatures. We started from the example file SlabExample and then 
changed the A/P to 2 and the width of the horizontal insulation to 4 
(since the slab is fully insulated --> = 2*A/P). There is no vertical 
insulation.These are the only things we have changed. But the new file 
will not work (we get no .gtp file) and on top we get no error file so 
we don't know what is wrong. However, in the .out file we can see that 
an equivalent slab is indeed created.We used the same .epw file for 
both the SlabExample and the new file.Does this problem occur because 
of the fact that we have a fully insulated slab and the program is not 
familiar with it? 

Thanks
