OS Crashes When Opening Hydronic Loop

Every time I open the hot water loop in my model it crashes. Any ideas as to why this would happen? image description

Can you provide more details about the history of the model and what version of OpenStudio you are using.

I am using version 2.1. What information about the history of the model will be helpful?

I figured out the issue. I was deleting a cooling coil from the text editor without deleting the associated inlet and outlet nodes. Once I followed the OS IDs to the inlet and outlet nodes and deleted them OpenStudio no longer crashed when opening the HW loop.

It may seem strange that a cooling coil affected the HW loop, but this coil was actually placed on the HW loop originally with a measure and subsequently deleted and replace with a DX cooling coil.

Always use the app or the API to delete objects. If you do it in a text editor, residual objects will get reference/link errors and crash the app, particularly for HVAC objects.
