[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Chilled water storage problems

["andystone101" <andy.stone@xxxxxxxx>]

I've tried doing the same thing in V3.1.  I still get an error but this time it is a different error.  I will do as suggested and submit to the energyplus-support address.

Edwin - the error occurs even with no output specified, so that's not the cause.

Thanks,

Andy
