Re: [TRNSYS-users] How to connect an equation to a parameter of a component



Christina,
You can't change the value of a parameter during a simulation; the definition of a parameter is a value that is constant over the entire length of the simulation. You would need to change the Type itself and modify both the source code and the proforma so that the heat transfer coefficient becomes an input instead of a parameter. You would then have to recompile the STEC library DLL with the modified source code in order for the change to take effect.
Best,
 David

Dear trnsys users,

How can I change a value of a parameter during a simulation?For example in the component "steam evaporator" of stec library-rankine ,I want to change the parameter "overall heat transfer factor" during the time of the simulation depending of the input "hot side flow rate". I have made the equation which connects these values( overall heat transfer factor,hot side flow rate) but I do not know how to connect the equation to the parameter as it appears only the inputs of the componet.

Thank you in advance,
Tsechelidou Christina
