[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Program Crash during Sizing using Baseboard:RadiantConvective:Water

["aymericnovel" <aymericnovel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I got that confirmed. That is a good news.

Still, I would like to understant what is wrong. DesignBuilder is an interface and I am no advanced user if cannot figure it out in energyplus...

For that component, is it mandatory to input I=B=R manufacturer data? Could it be the cause of the crash?

Regards
Aymeric
