HI Constanze, Concerning the first
question, I think the problem is that trnsys only accepts timesteps which have a
value of 2^n, in which n is an integer (pos. or neg.) value. You could try 2^-4
(0.0625). Attached you find an
example of type 9. Put it in My documents together with the scheme.txt. I hope
it’s useful Good luck stefan Van:
trnsys-users-bounces@engr.wisc.edu [mailto:trnsys-users-bounces@engr.wisc.edu] Namens Constanze.Bongs@csiro.au 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 ------------------------------------------------------------- Constanze
