Re: [TRNSYS-users] Use of variable names from equations as input (string) to Types



Angela and Andreas,
That is a known bug; it is on the fix-list. I am glad that you brought it back to our attention as it seems to have gotten missed in the beta version that we are currently testing!
Best,
 David

Dear Trnsys-users,

we just found out some surprising behaviour with the use of variable names, equations and the control-cards - maybe someone else already wondered about that: # Working fine: If you define variables in an equation in the studio, you can use these variable names (as strings) as inputs - both for parameters and inputs - to other Types. # Working unexpectedly: If you define variables in an equation in the control cards, the use as parameters for other Types works fine, however, for inputs to other Types the variable names are only identified as initial values but the respective connection in the deck file is "0,0". Defining the connection directly in the deck-file works but is of course unfeasible if you are working with the studio...

Seems to be a bug in the deck writing routine?

Best regards,
Angela Dröscher & Andreas Heinz
