TRNBuild calculates the coefficients of a transfer function that describes the way in which energy is transferred through a given wall. The transfer function is basically an infinite series and each coefficient is a multiplier on a particular term in the transfer function (an example of one of the terms is the temperature difference across the wall). Time is discretized into steps backwards through the wall's history; the step size is called the time base. For example, if the time base is 1 hour then coefficient multipliers for each term in the transfer function will be computed for now, 1 hour ago, 2 hours ago, 3 hours ago etc.

Dear all,What's the difference between the time base of transfer function ( in Outputs of TRNBuild ) and Zone thermal time constant?Are they the same? If different, how to calculate the zone thermal time constant? based on which parameters?Many thanks!br.wang

Dear Alexis,
I've had a similar error when I used Genopt. I've had several components tracked by a "trace" command that made my list file enormous (more than 100Mb) and genopt could'nt handle that amount of data.
Just my 2cents.

Betreff: [TRNSYS-users] google sketchup+trnsys3d
Hello everybody,
Thanks for your posts that's always really interesting!
I come up with a problem using Google Sketchup and TRNSYS3D: inside a
TRNSYS zone, I draft a square, then I want to pull it up at a certain
height, so I write the number then Enter, and this error appears:

When I pull it up manual, I don't have any problem, just when I write
the number.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Julia.

Hi to everybody!
I don’t understand why, for certain projects, I can’t open the input file, the message is “the system cannot find the path specified”.
Where should I find the input file?
Thanks a lot

Subject: Re: [TRNSYS-users] GenOpt optimization: problem for the secondgeneration after 5 simulations
This type of error in GenOpt is usually caused by an error in the TRNSYS
simulation. You need to check the *.lst file for the TRNSYS run to see
what the TRNSYS error is.
