1. Problem with type 14b forcing function (Ayoola Afolayan)
2. Re: Fw: help in Tansys3d and
sketchup (David BRADLEY)
Am modeling a solar domestic water heating system using TRNSYS 16. I want to control when the water in the storage tank is being drawn at a certain
flowrate. I connect the output of the type 14b to the
coldside flowrate of the tank. I also specify the time of
draw and rate for different points but when
i check the graph on the plotter and printed the result in excel, the results am having is far different from what was expected. I wanted to control when the water is being drawn but it seems the type 14b is not obeying this command. I will like to know which other component can perform this task and how?
Thank you
Ayoola
Shahen,
Are you able to browse to the location mentioned in the error
message (c:\Users\a\Desktop\Learning\Trnsys3D\) and open the file
untitled.idf using a text editor?
Given the path to the file that you are using, I am almost certain
that the problem lies in the permissions that the account has on the
folders in question. As I mentioned in my previous email; full
administrative access is needed and very often the c:\Users folder
has a lot of
protections on it.
Regards,
David

David,
I
did the steps and I got an error window , that you can
find it in the attachment., besides, I did not find the "untitled.b17.idf" in the folder that was shown in the
error window.
Can you
advise me please
Regards,
Shahen
Shahen,
Just to be entirely clear, the steps you should
follow at
that point
are:
1.
open
TRNBuild
2.
select
File: Import Trnsys3D file...
3.
click
the arrow button in the field in the
upper left of
the window
and browse to find untitled
.idf
(
click ok)
4.
click
the radio button at the right hand side of the
window to
indicate
whether the building is in the northern or southern
hemisphere.
5.
click
the button next to "import"
when
I try your file, I am able to import it. If you
aren't, I would
recommend
that you look at the permissions on your \Trnsys17
directory
and make sure that you have administrator level
access to
the
entire directory. I wonder if there is a DLL being
called that
won't
run due to a file permissions problem.
Kind regards,
David

Dear Ciarán and Muhammud,
Thanks
for
quick
response,
Ciarán
I did exactly
what did
you do, but after “Open IDF &
Create project !” nothing
happening!
by
the way I am
using Window 8(32bit)
Regards,
Shahen
Maybe
one thing: did you import
the idf file by going to:
File
> New > 3D Building
Project (multizone)
> Next
> Next > “Open IDF
& Create project !” ?
(that’s
what I did to
get your
file
up and running…)
Regards,
Ciarán
As
a beginner to
TRNSYS, I'm trying to
understand how can I
draw a 3d produce a
multizone building by
following the tutorial
"t3d.pdf". However, at
the end when I tried
to import the IDF file
in the
simulation studio
nothing generated and
I'm not getting the
automatic generated
project. I repeated
the
process many
times, even with onezone (just the
first floor), but no
results. What
I'm doing wron
g?
I would be grateful for any help and you can
find the IDF file in
the attachment
(I am using TRNSYS17
with Sketchup
8 pro)
