Jeroen,I am infamous among my colleagues for having caused the problem that you describe more times than any one else. I looked at the code you sent and cannot directly see the cause of the problem. It looks to me as though you are using getStorageVars and setStorageVars() properly. My initial guess was that you might not want to update the storage array at the end of each iteration but only at the end of the time step (when INFO(13) > 0) but without seeing it run, I cannot be certain. If you have a simple project that uses two instances of the thermostatic valve, I would be happy to take a look at it from the debugger.

Dear all, I have made a thermostatic valve model based on the old type including pipes, a thermostatic valve and a radiator (currently named type 207, it seems). It works fine when I use only one type in a project, but if I use more than one, the stored values seem to interfere. When I make a copy of the valve model, give it another type number, use another name for the storage array and compile it; this new type works fine next to the original type. However, I need 9 thermostatic valves next each other and it's not really an elegant solution. Is there another way to avoid this problem ?
