[EnergyPlus_Support] **Severe"" Node Connection Error

["uebermenchens" <uebermenchens@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I am back in the saddle again running some energy plus models and I am getting a few warnings and a severe error.  Could you please provide some incite for solving the node connection error.  I hope resolving this problem will solve the other warnings.

Thanks,

MT
