Fan isn't triggered by DEVC #2172

Closed gforney closed 9 years ago

FDS Version:6.1.1
SVN Revision Number:19882
Compile Date:24 July 2014
Smokeview Version/Revision:
Operating System:Windows 7

Describe details of the issue below:

I have set up a simple test case with a HVAC duct in the soffit of a room. The duct
has a fan that activates with a DEVC after 10 seconds. The output of the simulation
shows, however, that the fan starts from the beginning of the simulation

FAN is intended to describe a class of fans that can then be used in more than one duct
input.  The DEVC_ID for controlling a fan; therefore, is on the DUCT input containing
the fan.  The guide is in error.  The DEVC_ID line should not be in the FAN input section.

The code examples in section 9.2.4 still have DEVC_ID elements included.

To confirm, this same issue would apply to Aircoils.  The controls should be assigned
to the Duct, and the manual is incorrect about devices and controls on the Aircoil
object.
