David,

Thank you very much for your quick answer.

It works great.

King regards.

Trnedit and parametric runs, trnsys output modification

Carlos,
  You can do this but in a slightly more indirect way. Say that you
have a 3 node tank and that the temperature of the 3 nodes are given by
outputs 21, 22, and 23 of UNIT 35. You will need to write an equation such
as:

EQUATIONS 1
tempToWatch = isRun1*[35,21] + isRun2*[35,22] + isRun3*[35,23]

isRun1, isRun2 and isRun3 are all new variables that will be defined both
in the input file and in the parametric table. You can write:

CONSTANTS 3
isRun1 = 1
isRun2 = 0
isRun3 = 0

for each run that you make, all three of the constants must be set and
only one of them should be set to a value of 1; all others should be zero.

Lastly, you will need to go through the deck and replace the text [35,21]
with the variable tempToWatch.
Kind regards,
 David

hi, 

I'm trying to simulate a DHW system, and I would like to make a parametric
run using TRNedit. 
In this parametric study, I would like to change the node of my storage
tank which is use to regulate my DHW system. 

In TRNedit, the TRNSYS outputs are referenced like this: [Unit#, Output#]
Is it possible to replace the Unit# or the Output# by a constant or an
equation? 

Example: 

TANK: UNIT 35 TYPE 534

[35,21] is the temperature of the 1st node of my tank

I want to replace [35,21] by [35,x], x will vary every new simulation following
my parametric table. 

I do not undertand very well the properties of the object:  [Unit#,
Output#] 

If it's not possible is there another solution to this problem?

Thank you in advance for your answer 

Carlos Arboleda
