Re: [TRNSYS-users] Error at start of simulation

[David Bradley <bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Chun Kwong,
  You somtimes have to make the denominator of your equation something like:

Result = Variable1/MIN(0.0001,Variable2)

so that if variable2 has an initial value of zero, you won't get an error.
Cheers,
 David
