Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type 701 Parameter requirements

Lucas,

You do indeed need to make a basement zone with boundary walls in 56 that
interfaces with type 701.  The documentation explains this fairly well,
Type701.pdf, located in C:\Program Files\Trnsys16_1\Tess
Models\Documentation\Ground Coupling Library

I'm not sure about the error...

Hi,

I am trying to model a basement in conjunction with a building model
(type 56).  First, do I need to make a "basement" zone in my type 56
before I can use a type 701 or is the type 701 in place of a
"basement" zone?

second, I set it up and tried to run it but got a fatal error.  I only
see 33 parameters listed in the type.  Why is it expecting 59
parameters, and what should I do?  below is the fatal error:

*** Fatal Error at time   :         0.000000
    Generated by Unit     :    20
    Generated by Type     :   701
    TRNSYS Message    103 : The TRNSYS TYPE checking routine has found
an inconsistency in the specified component between the input file and
the information expected by the Type
    Reported information  : An illegal number of PARAMETERS has been
specified for this component. Please check the component
configuration. 59 PARAMETERS are required and 33 were specified.

Thanks!
