Getting Conflict between unique node names and plantloop supply and demand inlet outlet names
I get the following message:
************* Testing Individual Branch Integrity
** Severe ** Non-unique node name found, name=NODE 3
** ~~~ ** ..1st occurrence in Branch=RH Supply BRANCH
** ~~~ ** ..duplicate occurrence in Branch=RH Demand FEED BRANCH
** Severe ** Non-unique node name found, name=NODE 20
** ~~~ ** ..1st occurrence in Branch=RH Supply BRANCH
** ~~~ ** ..duplicate occurrence in Branch=RH Demand RETURN BRANCH
but when I make unique node names for supply outlet node -demand inlet node and vice-versa, i get the error messages that Plantloop Demand inlet and Supply outlet nodes must be the same.
What am I doing wrong?
Without having your IDF file or a schematic of your plant loop, hard to tell. I suggest you read carefully the Plant Application Guide (also as a PDF in your E+ install folder) and review the rules that govern loop topology in E+
I solved this. One must change the shared node names in three places: PlantLoop, Branch, and Component (E.G. pipe) - while I was only doing it in 2 of the three....
Glad you solved it. You can move your comment as an answer and accept that.
Will do, once my newbie status own response delay times out....
