Hi, I am new to using TRNSYS and have
run across the following problem which I could not resolve using the manual or
the mailing list archives. It is probably really easy but I would be very happy
if someone could give me a “helping hand”. I want
TRNSYS to read data (temperatures and relative humidity) from an excel file and use that data as input to a building model.
The data in the sheet is taken at time steps of 5 minutes. I tried using TYPE 9 to read it. However, when I try running the
simulation (or Type 9 separately) I get the following error
messages: 1.) The
system does not seem to allow me to input data time steps of less than 1 hour into parameter 4
(time interval of data) – although it should if I am well informed. I tried to
use hrs as unit and filled in 1/12 or 0,0833 but still
the same problem occurred. If I set it back at 1 hr it does not give me the
error message any more, but that does not make sense with the data I want to
use. 2.) Using 1 hr (to see if the type works) I get the error message that the system is not able to read the file correctly. I inserted the path to the file under external files (and under files in the window that opens as I click on information). I checked the deck file and it gives me the right path to the excel sheet. I also checked the excel sheet but can find no error in the sheet. However, I cannot get TRNSYS to run the simulation (type 9) and read the file.
Well, hope someone can help.
Cheers,
Constanze
