Dear Sir, I found some problem in Type 66: Calling EES, TRNSYS17. I tried to run the example that comes with the program but the solver cannot start, the error message in the list file show that *** Fatal Error at time : 3648.000000 Generated by Unit : 5 Generated by Type : 66 TRNSYS Message 103 : The TRNSYS TYPE checking routine has found an inconsistency in the specified component between the input file and the information expected by the Type Reported information : An illegal number of PARAMETERS has been specified for this component. Please check the component configuration. 0 PARAMETERS are required and 4 were specified. I use the EES professional version, all the paths should be correct. I tried to create a new simple file or even use the file that used to be able to run for TRNSYS 16 but the same message always show up. I also attach the list file with this mail. Please kindly check, there might be something wrong in this component, or some setting parameters are wrong. Thank you very much and looking forward to hearing from you.
