Hevacomp V8i

ALAN HEATON — Fri, 20 Sep 2019 09:19:47 GMT

Suddenly get this message after using full CAD Input on this project for a few days. The Hevacom Project Explorer confirms my project details comprising existing data of 37 rooms but can not open the project. I can see the data on the network server directory? If I try to navigate to the data from within Hevacomp via Windows path method it says no room data etc. and no database which conflicts with the confirmed project details using Project Explorer? The data resides on a network server and I can see the JETDDB.MDB file can anybody help me connect to the database or have I got to start all over?

My company has recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Hevacomp is not producing any reports since the upgrade - even on past projects? I have a simple extension building and just want heat loss load calcs but the results from my model are blank? can you please suggest a fix? thanks

Delete floor plan? keep roof data?

ALAN HEATON — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 15:00:07 GMT

I have a building model with a ground floor plan and roof. The floor plan has now changed but the external walls and footprint of the building remains the same. If I delete the existing ground floor plan and import a new floor plan will the application data for the roof remain ? I appreciate that if I delete the existing ground floor then all room information previously defined will be lost but if I retrace and input fabric data will the roof remain in place or do I need to start a new model?

Repair project file

Hi Shane

i wonder if you would kindly take a look at a project file which may be in need of repair. This has happened before and I uploaded the project folder and you where able to repair the file path to the project.

The project was loading fine until this afternoon when my Hevacomp application could not find any of my projects. It could not navigate to the file path where the project folder resides on our company network server.

When this occurred previously you sent me an upload link and you where able to repair the data and file path so the project would load. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Mono-pitch roofs at different heights supported by load-bearing wall

ALAN HEATON — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 09:33:10 GMT

I have a school building to model using CAD input methodology.

It has a central load-bearing timber-frame wall supporting the ends of two mono-pitch roofs positioned at different heights. The wall between the top roof and lower roof is exposed and contains windows.

Below the lower roof the wall is an internal stud partition. The building is has a common ground-floor with no intermediate floors.

When I try to model the building and set up the roofs using the 'extend walls to underside of roof' command, the wall is rendered as an internal wall up to the top roof level. How can I model this wall to be exposed between the two roofs and not exposed internally? Any help much appreciated.

Run time error 76 In Netsys

ALAN HEATON — Tue, 21 Aug 2018 14:14:08 GMT

Total newbie - first time user.

I have successfully named a project, used the design database package, and manually added 26 room data and successfully used heat loss load calcs to output reports.

Now I want to use Netsys for heating pipe sizing.

When I click the Heating link project explorer application dialog box pops up with my confirmed project details. When I click on the green arrow to launch Netsys Heating pipe sizing I get run time error 76?
