Hi there, in E-Quest when running simulation. The program shows the following errors:
[cid:image001.png at 01CDEF51.EA2B0610]

When "check building description", it shows info below.

I tried to use U value rather layer thru the "Error Navigation" button. But it seems the wrong place to correct. Any ideas?
THX a lot!

U R correct, I removed the error message by revising in detailed mode. Another error message comes out as in attachment. I have no clue how to deal with...

I would create a new CONSTRUCTION, using the "U-Value Input" for SPECIFICATION METHOD.
Then you will need to go up to your Surfaces, and select the new CONSTRUCTION you just made.
You should also delete the defective CONSTRUCTIONS that are giving you the error messages.
Be aware that if you use the "Layers Input" method, eQUEST gets very unhappy since there is not enough mass. I suspect you are trying to alter an existing Layer, and have lost to much mass in the materials you have selected. This can happen when most of the materials use the "Resistance" SPECIFICATION METHOD>
As an example, it you were modeling a metal building, you want to use "U-Value Input" since there is not enough mass in the sheet metal and insulation.
