Dear TRNSYS users,
Christmas approaches, and we found an amazing issue concerning TRNSYS equations that we would like to share with you.
A day, we created a new equation in TRNSYS, taping (by error) the following _expression_ :
new = max(12),7
you could think that TRNSYS reports an error…but you are wrong : the result was 12 (try to plot it !)
We was just thinking that TRNSYS is so smart that it corrects our error, when we had a doubt. We tried to change the _expression_ in :
new = (max(12),7)
and in this case, TRNSYS crashed giving us a horrible statement : “forrtl : severe (408): fort: (3) : Subscript #1 of the array STACK has value 0 which is less than the lower bound of 1”…
But variety is the spice of live, than we tried another _expression_ again :
new = 0*(max(12),7)
You can imagine how we were surprised when TRNSYS plotted a constant value of…84 !!!
Definitely, we decided to write a letter to Santa Claus to help us to solve this riddle…
Merry Christmas to the TRNSYS group!
