[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Max Iteration Error Decoding



Jeannie,

I have an extremely large internal mass set for the only zone in the simulation.  The building is a warehouse so the product inside has an outsized impact on the model.  

If the critical flows and temps are consistent across each timestep - should I ignore the errors?  Would increasing the interation limit help?

Thanks
