EQuest: Converted weather file not allowing design days?

Hey all,

I am trying to add a TMY2/TMY3 to my EQuest model. I have converted a .epw to a .bin using Elements, and successfully loaded it into the model, and the file runs.

My problem is that adding heating/cooling design days to the model causes Equest to crash seconds into a simulation. This error has happened with multiple weather files as well as both TMY2 and TMY3 files.

Any ideas?

**Update: Tested both the converted weather file and the design days separately and both models ran. To clarify, equest crashes and closes when I try the combination in question. I was able to find the already converted TMY .bin file at the link Molly sent so hurray. I am going to try compare the file I converted and the one that works to see whats up.

Thanks for the help!
