Mehdi, Thank you for your prompt response. The correct type number is used in the proforma window. The Type number is uniform throughout the Fortran code. I am using Intel Visual Fortran 2011 XE. I have a written a number of components that work successfully, I cannot understand what the problem is here. -Aaron From: Mehdi Shahrestani [mailto:mahdishahrestani@yahoo.com] Aaron Check the following items. 1-Make sure that the type number mentioned in the main windows of proforma is correct (in this case 203) 2- If you copy and modified any exiting code as a new code, make sure in main code (FORTRAN or …) the previous type number is changed to the new number (this case 203) 3- Make sure dll compiling is performed in release mode (if you using CVF ) Hope these solve your problem Mehdi From: trnsys-users-bounces@cae.wisc.edu [mailto:trnsys-users-bounces@cae.wisc.edu] On Behalf Of Aaron J. Danenberg I have encountered an error when trying to run a simulation with a user written component. The list file indicates the Type has been loaded, then later states that the type cannot be found. See error received below. *** Notice at time : 0.000000 Generated by Unit : Not applicable or not available Generated by Type : Not applicable or not available Message : "Type203.dll" was found but did not contain any components from the input file. There is a Type 203 in the simulation, and then when it is called, it cannot be found. *** Fatal Error at time : 0.000000 Generated by Unit : 2 Generated by Type : 203 TRNSYS Message 105 : A TYPE was called in the TRNSYS input file but was either not linked into trndll.dll or was not found in an external dll. A dummy subroutine was called in its place. Please link the TYPE or remove it from the input file Reported information : Not available The performa uses Type number 203, the dll was written with Type203 on the first line of the code. SUBROUTINE TYPE203 (TIME,XIN,OUT,T,DTDT,PAR,INFO,ICNTRL,*) The dll i stored in the "Release Folder" in the User Lib. Any ideas on how this is happening? Aaron J.
