[TRNSYS-users] How to add an external file to a user-created component?



Hello!

 

I’m building a new component in TRNSYS 16 – a wave energy converter whose internal structure is similar to that of type 90, the wind turbine. Like for the wind turbine, I want to have an external parameter file that can be specified in the “External Files” section of the component setup dialog (ie, the one with the tabs to define parameters, inputs, outputs, derivatives, external files, etc). How do I get it to expect an external file? In the proforma I see where I can specify a question for the user and a default path, but I don’t see how to make it appear in that setup dialog and (more importantly), have TRNSYS add it to the deck (right now I have to do it manually). If anyone knows, I’d love to hear from you!

 

Thanks,

 

-Louise
