Dear George,
Thank you very much for your information and very valuable reference. I will check it and try to correspondingly seek the solution for my own case.

In his MSc thesis he prepared a platform where TRNSYS was run within TRNSYS in the same manner as I understand you want to do it. The first TRNSYS is used as the real-time optimization platform for a controller, and the second TRNSYS is used to simulate the building and the first runs inside the second. > Links for the MSc thesis, related publications and software can be found in the GENOPT site: > > http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/GO/download.html > > Regards, > > George > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > Dr. George Kyriakarakos, Agricultural Engineer > MSc Energy Systems & Renewable Energy Sources, PhD. > Agricultural University of Athens, > Dept. of Natural Resources and Agricultural Engineering > Iera odos street, 75, Athens 11855, Greece > Tel. +30.210.5294046 (direct), Fax: +30.210.5294023 > Mobile +30.6942.046895 > e-mail: <gk@aua.gr> > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > ----- Original Message ----- > Από: SUNLIANG CAO <caosunliang@msn.com> > Ημερομηνία: Thursday, August 21, 2014 4:34 pm > Θέμα: [TRNSYS-users] Optimization at each time-step > Προς: "trnsys-users@lists.onebuilding.org" <trnsys-users@lists.onebuilding.org>, "hotline@Transsolar.com" <hotline@transsolar.com> > > > > Dear all, > > > > > > > > I have a question upon the optimization in > > TRNSYS at each time-step. > > > > > > > > As we know, currently, most of the > > optimization softwares, such as GenOpt, make the optimization for > > TRNSYS based > > on a series of "complete" TRNSYS simulation results.
