Re: [TRNSYS-users] TURN Component

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Rebecca,
 It sounds as though your understanding is correct. Take a look at the 3d_Building example (.\Trnsys17\Examples\3d_building\Building.tpf). The idea is that you draw the building in SketchUp/Trnsys3D using plan north, not true north. When you then deal with the building in TRNBuild/Trnsys Studio, you have to correct for the difference between plan and true north.
Best,
 David

Hi,

I’m a new user of TRNSYS and am using it to model a building.  I’ve created the geometry in SketchUp and imported it into the Simulation Studio, but am unsure how to turn it to its correct orientation.  Is this what the TURN component does? My understanding is that the Orientation in TRNBUILD relates to how the walls etc. are oriented relative to each other, and that I need to turn the whole building – is this the right interpretation?  Can you explain how to use it, as I can’t find any reference to it in the documentation?

Thanks a lot for any help you can give me.

Rebecca
