Compliance analysis error causing equest 3.65 to hang

Hi

I'm trying to run a compliance analysis but get the message:

Evaluating rulelist 'CreateBaseCentralPlant'

Rule ID 345 on [loop]

And then the program hangs.

Has anybody else seen this before?

Shaun,
Have you tried a different version of 3.65 to see if the error is consistent in different versions?

I found that 3.65-b7163 produced bugs during the Compliance run but 3.65-b7158 ran fine using the same project.

Thanks Chris,

I tried 3.64 and 3.65 and got exactly the same result. The conversion
would hang at Rule ID 345. (It would certainly be nice to know the wording
behind these rules.)

I did solve the problem though. The model had a lot of interesting
mechanical features so I replaced all of the waterside and airside systems
with simple systems, one boiler, one chiller, VAV/RH everywhere, and the
conversion ran.
