Re: [TRNSYS-users] digging into trnflow convergence problems



Are you using a thermostate or an equation to control the cooling? You should use an thermostate. An equation gives a zero or an one, so it can go off/on/off/on and your program crashes (on because it reaches setpoint and then off because wanted temperature is reached) A thermostate has a dead band and it chooses on/off after 5 iterations. It is less accurate but your program runs.

 

Good luck

It crashes even at n=7 timestep... I am pretty sure it has to do with this temparature thing. A check to my lst file shows this clear pattern with lack of convergence in al the external temperature peaks, so I turned off cooling and the result is I get convergence thanks to interior temperatures going above exterior at most of the previous conflict timesteps... still there are a couple times of year where I still get higher ext. temps, and convergence problems show

You could try even smaller time-steps, I’ve models with timestep: 0,03125 (n=5), 0,015625 (n=6) and even 0.0078125 (n=7). It just takes a while before it’s finished calculating.
 
Kind regards,
