Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type 43 external file format and active layer activation
Chris,
1) I am trying find the input file format required for the Type 43a
(Part Load Performance). I can't find any documentation that describes
this nor have I found an example. Can someone point me in the right
direction?
Type43 uses the standard TRNSYS external file format for one-dimensional
data. If you check the Type43 section in the Mathematical Reference
manual, it will point you to the section in the Programmer's Guide that
describes the format for files that are read by the "DynamicData"
subroutine (trnsys16) or by the "InterpolateData" routine (trnsys17)
2) I want to create an active layer type but the "Active Layer" radio
button in the Layer Type Manager is greyed out. How do I make this
available?
Because the active layer model in Type56 is semi-empirical, it imposes
some requirements on the layers that surround the active layer itself
(usually concrete). For example, the minimum pipe spacing in your active
layer depends on the thickness of the adjacent massive layers. As a
result, TRNBuild allows you to define an active layer only in the wall
manger when you have a massive layer selected such that it can check to
make sure that its requirements are being met.
Best,
david
