Dear Fernando, The line IF(INFO(1).NE.IUNIT) THENis correct. The point of the line is to handle the case in which there is more than one instance of Type74 in the simulation. The variable INFO(1) is always the current instance's UNIT number (specified in the input file). At each time that the Type is called, the value of INFO(1) is stored as a local variable. In this way, if ever INFO(1) and IUNIT do not have the same value, then it can only be because a different instance of the component has been simulated. If a different instance has been simulated, then the component's parameters should be reread and reset to local variables.
In December 2004, a bug fix was made in that component. If your version does not have the comment:
C 12/02/2004 - JWT - Fixed an error with storing variables and added the first call to Tau_Alpha
in the "Revision History" near the top of the file Type74.for then you should contact your distributor to get the latest version.

Dear all,
I think I have found a bug in TYPE74 (parabolic concentrator solar
collector).
Where says (Line 207):
IF(INFO(1).NE.IUNIT) THEN
Should said:
IF(INFO(1).NE.IUNIT) GO TO 60
Best regards.
