2015-12-19 14:24:50 -0500 commented question Water use connection in open studio

In fact, I did use a water use connection to my model, than to that connection I associate a water use equipmant... I don`t know what is the name that the program requires, as I already characterized that water use equipment. I am tempted to think that it is a bug in the program... could that be the problem?

Object=WATERUSE:CONNECTIONS, name=WATER USE CONNECTION, Required Field=[Water Use Equipment 1 Name] was blank.

My model contains a water use connection with a water use equipment (shower)...

I can't understand what is the [Water Use Equipment 1 Name] that de program requires...

And I don't know if that is the problem that cause the crash in the simulation.

I apreciate your effort to help me with my problem... thank you very much. But could you see any other solution?
