Re: [TRNSYS-users] How to trace non-convergence problems in large models



Jean,
There is a TRACE command that will print out the values of all the parameters, inputs, and outputs of a given model at every iteration of every timestep. It is easy to implement in the Studio: click on the icon in the toolbar on the left that looks like some footprints then click on the component(s) that you want to trace. The problem with this is that in the Studio, you can either turn the trace on or off so you get VAST amounts of difficult to digest data. If you open the *.dck directly using TRNEdit and look for the TRACE keyword that you added in the Studio then you can adjust the simulation time at which TRACE is turned on and off. The statement that Studio adds is:

TRACE START STOP

but you can specify other times if you want:

TRACE 12 14

if, for example you know that there is a period of non-convergence starting at noon on January 1.

The results are printed in the *.lst file.
Best,
 David

Dear Group,
I wonder if you may have a tip as to finding the source of non-convergence in large complex models. In my error report non of the controllers report being stuck more than 0.0000000000%. of the time (so that isn't it) and I don't have any pipes reporting to be too small.

Any tips?

Regards,

Jean
