Subject: [TRNSYS-users] Help Needed with
TRNSYS modeling
Hi all,
I'm new to the mail list and would like to find
out if there is anyone who will be kind enough to help me with modeling using
TRNSYS. I'm currently doing a DCS modeling with thermal energy storage. As
part of the analysis, I am trying to create a simple model of a storage tank
type531 and an online plotter type65d. Purpose of this model is to indicate
and observe the thermal conduction between the nodes.
I've done the
following:
1. Set the no. of tank nodes = 8, and inlet temperature of port=
100 Degree Celsius.
2. Link tank nodal temp 1-8 to plotter left axis
variable 1-8.
3. Temperature at outlet to left axis variable 9.
4.
Average tank temperature to left axis variable 10.
Upon running the
simulation, i encounter an error msg:
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 PARAMETER value has been reported by the model. The
model has reported that Parameter 31 is the problem - but this may not be the
case. Please check the component configuration.
Can someone help me
with this? Thank you.
