[TRNSYS-users] TRNSED file creation - falty source code generated

[lucas.lira@scottish-southern.co.uk]

Dear All,

I'm currently working in the creation
of some TRNSED files from some energy systems modelled by me. After creating
the trd file and trying to run the simulation through TRNSEDIT, some systems
would do it smoothly, some would present some warnings.  An example
is shown below:

*** Fatal Error at time   :  
      0.000000
    Generated by Unit  
  : Not applicable or not available

    TRNSYS Message  
  13 : The TRNSYS Processor has reported an error while trying to
process EQUATIONS. The reported error was that an equal sign (=) did not
follow the variable name. One common cause of this error is to have fewer
equations that that specified in the EQUATIONS card. Please check the input
file and re-run the simulation
    Reported information  :
OF

For this specific case I identified
that when the trd file was created, the list file was being written as
bellow:

*
* Model "Type661"
(Type 661)
*

I put the bit that is causing problem
in bold. To solve the issue i just had to add "*|"
before that line and every thing would work ok. 
Has anyone experienced any similar problem
of the trd file being generated with incomplete lines? (like missing the
*|)
Is there any solution to it other than manually finding the issue and fixing?

Kind Regards

Lucas Lira
