[Equest-users] window switching crashing eQuest v3.64

[James Hansen]

Thank you Deepika.  Just found this in the Topics PDF:

 

The GLASS-TYPE keyword accepts the U-name of the glass types for the unswitched (clear) state and GLASS-TYPE-SW accepts the U-name of the glass type for the 

fully switched (colored) state.  Both of these glass types have GLASS-TYPE-CODE > 1000 and must be chosen from the library (see "Window Library Method"). 

An error will result if the number of glass layers is different for GLASS-TYPE and GLASS-TYPE-SW.

 

So it looks like you can't model simplified U-value/SC windows.

James 

Which window pair are you using from the library ?

 

You have to make sure you use the right pair else it will crash .

 

Also confirm that you selected the clear as your window type and then chose the tinted as switch type

	Has anyone successfully applied window switching in eQuest?  I'm trying, and it crashes, regardless of whether I try and enter the parameters in eQuest or in the DOE-2 input file.  Just trying a simple TOT-SOL-INC variable, but none of the switching methods seem to work.  I can define the switched window manually, but as soon as I try and select a switch type, it crashes.

	 

	Anyone else experience this?  Thanks!
