[TRNSYS-users] calculation time in TRNSYS16

[Sebastian Ludwig <eu0014@umwelt-campus.de>]

Dear TRNSYS-users,
the company I write my master thesis for plans to purchase a lizense of TRNSYS16, but first they want to know about differences in time spent in calculating complex models (using PhaseChangingMatierals-storage, heat-storage with 100 layers, heat pump, an unique controller developed by us and so on). In the moment I use a TRNSYS14.2 deck provided by my college to simulate their components on a 1GHz-machine with 512Mb RAM (I know, not the best conditions for such a task), and I can't change this in the moment. The simulations take about 10.000 seconds (3 hours and this is very much I think).
Now my question:
Is there somebody who uses a similar model in TRNSYS16? Can anybody tell me about the time needed to calculate this? What do I have to expect in waiting for results?
Many thanks an advance and sunny greetings,

Sebastian Ludwig
