Re: [TRNSYS-users] parametric runs with type 56

I think that naming your *.bui file something other than the name of your *.tpf and *.dck, will solve the problem. When TRNEdit runs a parametric table, it automatically reproduces all files that have the same name as the input file, appending the run number onto the name. Because your input file is called MyProject.dck and your building description is called MyProject.bui, TRNEdit is trying to duplicate both. Try naming your building something like Building.bui.

Subject: [TRNSYS-users] parametric runs with type 56

Dear All,

I'm working on a parametric study, using a type 56. I created a project MyProject.tpf, using the multizone building wizard.

My variable is the set temperature, which I define as an input in TRNBuild.

I specify that this input should be handled as a "constant", so I get this variable available in the parametric table, using TRNEdit.

The output file of my type 25 is "***.out", so that TRNEdit appends the run number to the output files.

But when I come to runing the table, I have an error message from TRNBuild. In fact, it creates a file "MyProject1.bui", which is empty.
Indeed, it seems that it creates an empty ".bui" file, instead of copying the data from the file " MyProject.bui".

I can solve this problem by copying the file MyProject.bui and renaming it into MyProject1.bui, MyProject2.bui, MyProject3.bui, which is not very convenient.

Do you have any idea on how to proceed to get "MyProject1.bui", "MyProject2.bui", "MyProject3.bui"... with the same data as in the original " MyProject.bui"?

Or maybe the solution is to specify that it has to use "MyProject.bui" for each parametric run? In that case, any idea on how to proceed?

Thanks a lot if you can help me solving this problem.

Best regards

Boris
