Re: [TRNSYS-users] Bug found when using variable values as strings in TRNSYS 16.1

[Jochen Doell <jochen.doell@ise.fraunhofer.de>]

...to be even more precise:
The error occurs when the simulation studio is writing the deck file 
before it calls the simulation.
The strings are handed over not as "inputs", but as "intitial input 
values" (which is ok if you enter one value). The input is left 
unceonnected in the deck ("0,0").

Please be aware of this when working with TRNSYS 16.1 (a colleague of 
mine almost went bananas because of this bug).

Best regards,
Jochen
