[Equest-users] Error question

[Brett Fero]

Lars,

My suggestion would be to open the bdl file and search for "error".  This will indicated direct you to where error occurred.  Too many errors and eQuest gives up.

If you are manually editing the inp file, make sure you have two periods ".." at the end of you commands as required.

Subject: [Equest-users] Error question

eQuesters,

    I included the following text in my .inp file, copied-and-pasted from an .inp file that eQuest generated.  My intention is to edit it to reflect the conditions of the present project, which I really really don't want to have to re-create in the wizard, since I've already composed about 3,000 lines of .inp code for complex geometry, schedules, etc.  As of yet, the only thing that I've edited are the U-names referring to the fan schedule, the heat schedule, the cool schedule, and the space - so that they match the present project.  Scrolling down in this e-mail, you'll see the lovely error messages that appear when I load the .inp file into eQuest.  Can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to fix it?  (Yes, I clicked on the errors, but eQuest tells me nothing helpful.)
    By the way, my concern here is only with HVAC errors and not with the electric meter error, which simply results from me having commented-out the electric meter code in the .inp file.
    Thanks if you have advice...
