[Equest-users] CAUTION: Variable Speed Drive FPLR???

[Carol Gardner]

Here you go Nick. This is in your 3-63 data area as DOE-2.chm. There is tons
of info there. Cautions are the least of your worries.

ERRORS                      Diagnostics deal with problems in the input that
must be corrected before the simulation will execute.

WARNINGS                 Diagnostics are concerned with input data that can
be used in the simulation but are probably erroneous (such as a temperature
input of 700 instead of 70.0).

CAUTIONS                   Diagnostics are much less severe than WARNINGS
messages and deal with questionable input value that do not significantly
affect the results of the simulation. This is the default level.

Regards,

Carol
