[deleted issue]

When you are entering a room's horizontal and vertical venting in the CFAST 
geometry, there is 
always 1 more room than you enter.  Is that extra room considered "outside".  
So if I have 3 rooms, 
Room 4 is venting to atmosphere/outdoors?

So far I have been successful in running the code and getting output.  I 
get a couple of minor errors when running some of the Monte Carlo 
simulations.

My simulation is suppose to simulate a 3 room fire.  A PPV fan in room 1, 
connects to the fire in Room 2.  A victim room is connected to the fire 
room.  My variables are window sizes in the fire and victim room, and the 
time venting occurs (PPV door, fire room window, victim window).

1.  When I make the correlation coefficients with the "correlation" action 
button:  a plot is generated with the correlations, but there is a Visual 
Basic error I have to terminate.  The plot looks correct, except it 
includes variables not used as random variables.  (see chart 1 on file)

2.  Any Monte Carlo simulation longer than 1000 seem to crash excel.

3.  My histogram plots of the output data do not run when I hit the "Make 
Histogram of Original Data", because I do not have the "ATPVBAEN.XLA" file?  
I have installed the Analysis Toolpak for excel, but do not know what that 
file is.

4.  Is there a way to monitor carbon monoxide (CO) or species outputs for a 
fire?

Thanks so much for making the code and the help!  =)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Setup includes Windows Vista, Excel 2007, Cfast version 5.1.1. 

2. I am trying a basic setup of CFAST without Monte Carlo simulations.

3. I have placed the binary files in the following folder:     C:\PFS\bin

4.  I put the work directory as C:\PFS\bin

5.  I have the PFS.xls on my desktop named "Project1"

6.  After some general input data, and trying to run the file, I get an 
error saying "Run-time error '53':  File not found:  CallCfast.dll"



What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect a general report but instead get the above error in step 6.  I am 
then sent to either end Visual basic or debug. 



What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

See 1 above.  I am running the Sep 02 release of the FPS worksheet.  It is 
attached



Please provide any additional information below.

I am unsure if Vista is causing a problem, or if I am placing the bin files 
in the wrong location, or not putting the address correct.  Do y'all have 
any ideas?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I am a new user, learning to work on PFS using FDS. I am facing problem in 
opening control form user interface ( i.e. PFS window for simulation). I was 
running an FDS example i.e. room_fire. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
These are following steps I have followed:
1) In C folder, I have created PFS file with "bin" as one sub-dir (copy pasted 
all .dll files) and "applications" as another sub-dir (room_fire folder in 
which all files related to room_fire for running it in FDS are present along 
with the PFS excel sheet with name "room_fire" and fds5.exe file too). 
2)I have opened "PFS_expertControl" sheet and given work directory path and 
project name (since I was unable to open "show  control form" present in 
"PFS_help" sheet).
3) When i click on "Show Control Form" icon present in PFS_help sheet. I got 
message it says "cannot run the macro 'room_fire.xls!showuserform'. The macro 
may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled" 
4) When I enable the macro the excel file gets struck (not responding)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Product: PFS4 and FDS5(both are latest version)
Operating System: Windows 7, 64 bit, 4 GB RAM and 2.0 GHz Intel core 2 duo 
processor.

Please provide any additional information below.
FDS5 is working properly (performed many examples)
I hereby attach the files. 

Thank you for your time and consideration

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When I try to use pfs as an interface to OZONE, after clicking "run 
project", excel turns off and DAT file in working directory is created.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In DAT file there is:"This version of PFS2 (CallOzone_Pfs_v2p1) has expired on  
6/30/2008"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest - .xls 10 may 2010, libs 9 apr 2010.

Please provide any additional information below.
I haven't problems with fds and cfast, only with OZONE.
