Marios,
The building simulation will run from the studio, not TRNBuild.
I would start by using the building example in the example folder to understand how the weather files and the rest of the systems interact with each other before working on the building itself.
The best way to make the geometry is through Google SketchUp and the TRNSYS3d plugin.
Building projects are pretty difficult so take your time if this is your first time using TRNSYS.
Good luck.

Subject: [TRNSYS-users] Difficulties of making a Trnsys project
hello everyone ,
Its my first time using the Trnsys software (trying to simulate a building
and calculating the heat loads) and i am having some difficulties
such as :
1) how do i define the doors (either external or internal )?
2) how do i import the climate data ?
3) does the project runs directly using TRNBuild or do i have to use also Trnsys
Simulation Studio or TRNEdit .?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards,
Marios
