Subject: [TRNSYS-users] New to TrnsysHi,
I am new to Trnsys of any kind of simulation program. I need to creat a type in Trnsys 16 and I do not know how to creat new type. I have read manual 8 (Programmer's guide) and manual 2 (Using the simulation studio) but I do not understand it much.
I have followed steps as per manual 2 and I could prepare proforma and could insert the inputs, outputs and parameters. But still I can not finish the type. The main idea is to read an execl file using Trnsys 16.
Should I use TRNEDIT (following manual 7 - TRNEdit: Editing the input File and Creating TRNSED Application).
Please guide me because I am getting crazy.
Thank you in advance,
Falguni

Subject: Re: [TRNSYS-users] New to Trnsys
Before you start off on your new adventure of writing a type, I might suggest you see if there's an existing model that does what you need. In this case, there is a Type that reads an Excel file as part of the standard TRNSYS package. But very likely, you just want to read data at even intervals of time. If this is the case, simply export the data from Excel to a delimited text file and read in the data using the popular Type 9 data reader.
If you truly want to write a Type that communicates with Excel I hope you have a strong background in Fortran and the Windows API because this is not a simple task.
