Re: [TRNSYS-users] Time inconsistency



Mitchell,
 The post below from Diego usually pertains to situations in which you are using a Type9 to read user-data and a radiation processor, not when you are using "standard" weather files. Can you please send me the weather file and the *.tpf that is giving you trouble?
Cheers,
 David

Hi Diego,
 
I normally deal with David Bradley when I have TRNSYS problems, but I found a post from you about one of my current problems so I'll ask you.

Hi Bernd,

That error is produced in the connection between weather data readers
and radiation processors.  We fixed the error and will be available in
the next release.
Best regards,

Diego

Well, I have the newest version of TRNSYS as far as I'm aware, TRNSYS Version: 16.01.0002,  Version  4.2.0.30 and I just got that Time inconsistency warning enough times to cause an error that crashed my very slow running simulation. I was running a year simulation with a 5 minute time step. (The 10 minute time step was able to complete the run in 45 minutes, but gave me an i/o error at the end which resulted in other problems, but one thing at a time...)
And yes, the time inconsistency does seem to be related to the weather data file Type 15-2b
 
Thanks
