Hi All,
I can't figure out why this is occurring, and am hopeful someone can point me in the right direction. I am trying to set up dynamic glazing that switches between two glazing types based on an annual schedule. In the window spreadsheet view (also in the individual window tab) when I set the glazing switching type to "Daylight" and select the glass type to switch to, eQuest freezes up and then shuts down. I tried adding the section directly to the .inp file and now the model won't load on start-up / it crashes on the first instance of the glazing switching (the first window in the .inp)
What I have in the .inp should be correct as I took it from an early model where this work around for dynamic glazing did work. Below is the section from the .inp that is crashing the file. For context, this is on version 3.65 and I am using DOE-2.3. Thanks everyone!
This works:
"12thSE Win (G.SE4.E4.W1)" = WINDOW
GLASS-TYPE = "View Clear"
FRAME-WIDTH = 0
X = 0
Y = 1
HEIGHT = 6
WIDTH = 184
FRAME-CONDUCT = 0.341
SPACER-TYPE = INSULATED
..
This does not work:
"12thSE Win (G.SE4.E4.W1)" = WINDOW
GLASS-TYPE = "View Clear"
FRAME-WIDTH = 0
X = 0
Y = 1
HEIGHT = 6
WIDTH = 184
FRAME-CONDUCT = 0.341
GLASS-TYPE-SW = "View Tint"
SWITCH-CONTROL = DAYLIGHT-LEVEL
SWITCH-SET-LO = 63
SWITCH-SET-HI = 32
SPACER-TYPE = INSULATED
..
