[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS error: Type called in input file, but not linked or found in external dll

[knut.erik.enerstvedt@niva.no]

Hello all,

I have created a new component by modifying
the Fortran code of an existing TRNSYS Type (Type 666) and assigning it
a new Type number. I used the "Export as Fortran" command based
on the new Proforma to generate a CVF project template with the necessary
compiler settings. My compiler is the CVF66. I then added the modified
source code to this project. No problems compiling and building the dll.
I checked that the new dll was placed in the ..\Trnsys16_1\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs
directory.

So far, so good. However, when I ran
a simulation to test the new Type, I got the following error message:

"TRNSYS message 105: A Type was
called in the TRNSYS input file but was either not linked into trndll.dll
or was not
found in an external dll. A dummy subroutine
was called in its place. Please link the TYPE or
remove it from the input file."

The List file also says that "Type240.dll
(my new Type) was found but did not contain any components from the input
file". I can not understand how both these messages can appear at
the same time.

Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Best regards,
Knut Erik Enerstvedt
