Re: AW: [TRNSYS-users] Type 4, wrong parameter definition?

["Diego A. Arias" <daarias@wisc.edu>]

Dear Timo,

So many things may go wrong if there is an error in the input file that 
it is very difficult to make TRNSYS point out the exact source of the 
error.  With TRNSYS 16, the Developer Group made an effort to clarify 
and add more messages when something goes wrong. But we can always 
improve that.  Thanks for pointing out this problem.
Best regards,

Diego
