Jochen,There should not be any changes necessary to a component (fortran or the proformas) between TRNSYS v 16.0 and 16.1. The only difference that I can think of is that with earlier versions (prior to 16.00.0038) external DLLs were all in the ..\Trnsys16\UserLib\ directory. We changed this because if the TRNDll.dll was compiled in one mode (debug versus release) and the external DLLs were compiled in the other mode then there were communication problems between the two. With later releases, if the TRNDll.dll is compiled in release mode, it loads external DLLs from the ..\Trnsys16\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\ directory whereas if the TRNDll.dll is compiled in debug mode, then it loads its external DLLs from the ..\Trnsys16\UserLib\DebugDLLs\ directory. My guess as to what might be happening in your simulation is that the TRNDll.dll is loading an older version of your component from the wrong directory.

Dear TRNSYS Users, I experience problems with running a type - which works with no problems in TRNSYS 16.0 (16.00.0034, VisualStudio 4.0.0.0) - in TRNSYS 16.1 (16.01.0002, VisualStudio 4.2.0.30). When running the simulation I receive the following error message: "The TRNSYS TYPE checking routine has found an inconsistency in the specified component between the input file and the information expected by the Type. An illegal number of INPUTS has been specified for this component. Please check the component configuration. 3 INPUTS are required and 12 were specified." The same for the parameters (0 required, 18 specified) Do I have to change anything in the Proforma or elsewhere when using types in TRNSYS 16.1? Thanks in advance for any hints and best regards, Jochen -- _________________________________________________ Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Jochen Döll Dept.
