Help for Beginner

Dear Everyone:

I tried simulating a hypothetical house by just using the tutorial as
guide. Lots of basic problems. The "Help" button usually comes up with
nothing on the topic. I can't save my work so I can return to the SD
Wizard. I was told this program was easy to use. Did you all start
with a Training Course? Any info and guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks

Andrew

Andrew,

eQuest has its defaults (as any other sim prog over there). Still, it
remains relatively easy to use. I suggest you begin, if that's not done
yet, by reading the eQuest Training Workbook available for download in
the doe2.com website.

Later, you might consult the eQuest Modeling Procedures Quick Reference
Guide.

Hey Andrew,

If you haven't read the Simulation Basics and Tour/Overview section in the Introductory Tutorial file, I would definitely suggest that to get an idea of the theoretical workings of the program. I did not start with a course and am by no means an expert as some others on this forum are, but this forum is an invaluable help to equest learners. Use as much as you need. You should not have any trouble saving in the SD wizard-you just have to press "Finish" on the navigator first. A lot of the Help screens are evidently undeveloped as of yet, but this list is helpful. Just play around with the program though. Good luck,

-Dan
