Re: [TRNSYS-users] Variable units in fortran code

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Florian,
  This is interesting (and confusing). The getSimulationTimeStep() function should return a double precision number whose value is the timestep in hours. Is it also returning some text as well?

  The implementation is usually something like:

Double Precision  Timestep   ! this declares a variable called Timestep as being "double precision" which indicates how much memory is used to store the value

Timestep = getSimulationTimeStep()  !this line calls the function and sets the return value to the variable called "Timestep"

am I interpreting your email correctly that you get back some number and some text appended to it?
Best,
 David

Hey TRNSYS users,

is there any possibility to remove the unit of variables that are used in the fortran code of a type.

for example if i use getsimulationtimestep() i get the timestep with the unit. i want to use only the value for further equations. 

can anyone of u tell me how to do that?

and the other way round can i add a unit to a value that is simply a number till this point?

thanks a lot for any help

Florian Limmer
