Subject: [TRNSYS-users] Convergence failure in the simulation
Dear all.
I am simulating a GSHP system, but receive warnings that some units do
not converge at particular time steps. The simulation stops after the
number of warnings reach a limit. I try to adjust the minimum
relaxation factor and tolerance of convergence in the control card,
but it seems to have no improvement. Please advise how I can fix it?
Thank you!
Yours sincerely,

heating
Hello TRNSYS experts!Does anybody of you has any experience simulating a solar combi system using a combined tank (hot water tank within heating water tank)? Is there any type which model that kind of tank in tank system?Thanks in advance!Best RegardsTimo

Subject: [TRNSYS-users] Errors in rebuilding TRNDll.dll
Dear all.
I have made some changes in the source code for Type108 (5 stage
thermostat). When I try to rebuild the TRNDll.dll by opening the
Cvf66.dsw workspace at \Trnsys16\Compilers\Cvf66\ sub-directory using
Compaq Visual Fortran, a lot of errors are found. I am using Cvf6.5.
Is it the cause for the errors? Please advise. Thank you!
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Re: [TRNSYS-users] Convergence failure in the simulation
Chun Kwong,
Convergnce problems are a result of one of two things usually.
Either there is not enough thermal capacitance in a given flow loop
(such as a piping network) or the time step is too big. If I recall,
your simulation was using a 1 hour time step. I would recommend
starting by reducing that time step to 0.125 hours to see if that
solves the convergence problems. The bore field and the building in
your system should be providing adequate thermal capacitance.
Kind regards,
David

Subject: Re: [TRNSYS-users] Errors in rebuilding TRNDll.dll
Dear Chun Kwong,
The compiler version could well be the cause. I recall that there
were some bugs in the CVF 6.5 compiler that were fixed in release 6.6b.
Kind regards,
David
