Re: [TRNSYS-users] Plugin Tess Type 534

Since the plugin is programmed with the American standard of denoting numbers, you will need the data file to use periods for decimal points.

 

Also, the plugin is not expecting to see the comments in the file and will error out on trying to read the data file with the comments.

 

Regards,

Dear all,   I'm, using TRNSYS 16.1 with TESS libs 2.0 V1 with the simulation studio. When I configure the tank type 534 with the plugin I get the following problems. I have a tank volume of 1.83 cubic metres and a tank height of 2.69 metres and put it in exactly like that. When I then close the plugin and open the tank input file *.dat there are the correct values, but with a comma "," instead of a dot ".". So the next time I open the plugin I have got a tank volume of 1 cubic metre, a height of 83 metres and propylene glycol -- water mixture with 69 percent. So the tank takes the parameters comma separated. Did anybody come along the same problem and knows advice? Is it possible that it is because I'm running a german operating system where the dot "." is changed to a comma ","? Can I write comments into the tank input file? I tried "*" and "!" but seemingly that didn't work.   Thanks for any help   Jens Apel   Technical University of Berlin _______________________________________________ TRNSYS-users mailing list TRNSYS-users@engr.wisc.edu https://www.cae.wisc.edu/mailman/listinfo/trnsys-users
