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

Dear TRNSYS developers,
Maybe this is not new to you, but I may have found a serious bug in TRNSYS 16.1 (16.01.0003).
It is not possible to use a variable value from an equation as an input without connecting the equation and the component. I.e. declaring an input as "string" and entering the variables name does not work! To be more precise: The component will only take the value the variable has at the first timestep of the simulation. 

Best regards,
Jochen

Dear Fuqiao,
Your guess is correct; N = 0 or 360, E = 90, S = 180, & W = 270. As Matt mentioned, you can find the convention used for wind direction in TMY2 data in Table 3-2 on http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/pubs/tmy2/tables.html

Dear fuqiao,

I am not sure, but you can refer to the NREL documents about TMY2 weather
files. I am confident that the information will be in there.

Best regards,

Matt Duffy

Dear all

In tmy2 weather data, what is the reference orientation for the angle of
the wind
velocity? For example, 90 degree, does it mean east, 180 degree, means south?
Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers
fuqiao

[TRNSYS-users] chiller performance with type 42?

Hi All,

I have performance data for a chiller from the manufacturer, with thermal capacity and electrical power demand for varying part load fractions, for a series of condenser water temps (60-85F, in 5F increments). Seems like I need type 42, but other than the general description in the documentation, I've no idea how to start using it. Is there a more detailed manual and/or example file?

Thanks,
Cramer

Dear TRNSYS users,

I am trying to understand the differences between the three radiation
models listed under "Longwave radiation exchange within a zone" in
"Radiation Modes of Thermal Zone" feature of TRNBuild. These models
are:

1) Standard model (starnet model)
2) Simple model (one node model with combined heat transfer coeff.)
3) Detailed model (based on view factors)

The manuals do not refer to these radiation models using the exact
names listed in TRNBuild; therefore I am feeling difficulty
understanding which of the three models is actually being discussed.
Could you please briefly explain the primary differences between the
calculations of these radiation models? I would also appreciate it
very much if you could direct me to the specific sections of the
manual (or to the related papers/thesis) that I should read to learn
more about each model.

Thanks in advance,
Best,
Simge Andolsun

Hello,
I use a fictif wall without resistance in my work to represente a direct contact between 2 zones, the name in the model jointed here is mur-fictive, i give a very big hi (internal heat convective heat transfer coefficient) et he (external heat convective heat transfer coefficient) to model a good contact, but it couldn't converge. If i give 0 to hi and he, it turns very well. So i don't understand should give 0 to turn simulation or the wall could not be modelized like this. 
Thanks
Aleck
