Dear List,
I have been working on this file for many a days, attempting to have
a
warning free run.
The simulation is for a Phase Change Material, and is producing good
results so far as energy savings, heat flux reduction, HVAC size
reduction, and Peak load reduction. The file is to be used in a
climate study of various melt temperatures, so determine best product
for each ASHRAE climate.
There are no errors without the PCM, and I have all three convergence
settings, and relaxation at max values (the file did not work with
lower)
I realize I could ignore this, but would like to figure out the issue
and fix it if at all possible... Thanks
