Re: [TRNSYS-users] Trnsed Distributable

David,

I’ve tried your suggestion below with no success. I then tried 9953, 9954, and 9955 as well, with no success. I’ve attached this portion of the .trd file. As you can see, I’ve commented out some of the lines.

A curious note: The .trd file runs in Trnedit in the original directory just fine. I tried running the same file (in Trnedit this time, not stand-alone!) after copying it over to the Distributable directory, and the same error described below happens. Below, “I don’t get any errors when I run the simulation within Trnedit”, was in context of running the file in Trnedit in the original directory, not the Distributable directory as I’ve just done.

This deepens the intrigue, but suggests that I’ve overlooked something more fundamental in the Distributable-creation process. I’ve copied all files I believe and made all reference paths relative to the Distributable directory. Let me know if there is anything else that comes to mind which I should do to get this Distributable working.

Thanks for your (and others’!) help.

Kent,
Try setting the logical unit parameters referenced by Type96 (and the logical units in the corresponding ASSIGN statements) to some other numbers (953, 954, 955 for example). There are some spots in the Trnsys kernel where a logical unit number is internally assigned to a temporary file that needs to be opened up. The kernel tries to pick a logical unit that isn't otherwise needed but it doesn't always succeed.
Best,
David

I’ve created a Distributable file and copied all files that I need into the same directory. I am getting a fatal error when running the Distributable by itself. I don’t get any errors when I run the simulation within Trnedit. The error reads as follows:

*** Fatal Error at time : 0.000000

Generated by Unit : 33

Generated by Type : 96

TRNSYS Message 71 : An ASSIGNED logical unit number is already in use, either by the TRNSYS kernal or by a Type

Reported information : Not available

Attached is the section within the .trd file for Type 96 as used in my simulation. I’ve scoured it without finding obvious problems. I haven’t found the logical unit numbers duplicated elsewhere in the list file either.

Any deeper insights on what may be the problem, or other things to check, would be most appreciated.
