I think my work Collage figured out how to fix this bug.

For all crashing PR models.

It should take you no longer than 15 minutes to fix.

You need to follow these directions precisely:

Open a NEW equest file.

Click "start a new model with the wizard"

Hit schematic design.

You'll see the 1st window pop up. HIT the red button X.

Whatever the next pop up is, hit NO.

Go to File, IMPORT

Cancel the 1st window the pops ups then a 2nd window will pop up import
your INP file from your crashing model.

Hit no when it asks you to preview the import.

You should have the model back up, but you need to upload the weather
file.

Go to the building shell tab.

Right click on "project" in the component tree. Go to properties.

Specify the NC code. Enter " TMY/WASHINDC.bin" for the weather file. (or
whatever file you need for the project)

Hit no when it asks you to preview the import.

Run the baseline and make sure it matches the same report as the
crashing model.

When you verify that it all matches, get your PRD file from your crashed
model.

Take this prd file and copy it to whatever location your new model is
at.

Rename the prd file to the same filename as your new model.

You should be good to go.
