Re: [TRNSYS-users] How to add a wheater file to Trnsys 17



Sander,
  TRNSYS can read various predefined weather data files such as TMY2, TMY3 and EnergyPlus. If you have your own data in a text file format, you can read it with Type9 so long as each line of the data file corresponds to an equal increment of time (for example you could read hourly records or 5-minute records but you could not read a file that had a mixture of hourly and 5 minute time intervals). Once you have read the data with Type9 then you can do the solar radiation processing (computing the amount of solar that falls on an arbitrary surface) using Type16. There are example of how to do this in the ..\TrnsysXX\Examples\Reading Data Files\ directory.
Kind regards,
 David

Dear Trnsys users,

I'm looking for an answer to insert a .txt weather file (inclusive the sun beam), but I just don't know where to start. Could it be possible to guide me through this problem?
The .txt file is already made, conform the help function from Trnsys. But I don't know how to insert this file and how to connect it. Do i have to convert it to a .tm2 file, or is there an other way?
