Power Tower (Molten Salt) - optimize solar field geometry was created by Samer Zureikat

I am getting a "nan" result for the "Obj." parameter while running the optimization script from the Heliostat Field section (see attached).

The gentleman in the YouTube tutorial highlighted that the optimization script iterates to reach the lowest "Obj." figure possible. I am using a private weather file on disk.

Does the "nan" result compromize the results of my opimization exercise? If so, how do I resolve this?

Thanks,

Samer
