Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] ConductionFiniteDifference Algorithm in E+ V7





There were actually a lot of fixes done in V7 vs V6 for the Conduction Finite Difference algorithm -- if you see problems send both CTF and CDF files to the helpdesk.

Thanks Linda for your prompt reply,

The simulation runs as you said with a severe error but the results I got from this run are not comparable to CTF algorithm compared to E+ V6 (CFD vs CTF) results at a time step 1 hr. However, I got good results from E+ V7 at time step of 20 (i.e. 3 minutes interval). Have  any body experienced this?

thanks,
Saleh

That is a severe but the simulation continues.

If yours crashed, please send to the helpdesk.
