Re: [TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS15 startime



Dear Henk,

In TRNSYS15 the results of the first timestep are always zero (e.g. the Sens Energy Demand from Type56 is zero at the end of the first hour of the simulation). This is especially a problem in restarting simulations. How can I prevent this?

You can start your simulation some time before your time of interest. For example, you can start your simulation on December 1st, and run the simulation until the end of the next year. You will neglect the results for the first December.

(PS: perhaps a very basic question - and I am sure it is somewhere in the manual - the Sens Energy Demand is in kJ/hr?)

Yes. You can find the descritption of this variable in the 'BALANCE OUTPUT' section of the manual (4.8.8).

Best regards,

Diego
