Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type 16 (radiation processor)

[David BRADLEY via TRNSYS-users <trnsys-users@lists.onebuilding.org>]

Adnan,

  The default mode for Type56 in Trnsys17 is to get its radiation automatically from the weather data file that provides the ambient temperature to the model. If you do not want to use this default mode, however, you do not have to. In order to change to the manual mode:

1. open the building project in TRNBuild and activate the "project" window. You'll see a list of orientations, each of which has a calculation mode that is set to "internal"

2. double click on an orientation for which you do not want the calculation mode to be internal. In the case of using Type16, you'll need to do this with all the orientations.

3. in the window that pops up change the radio button from "internal" to "external by another component"

4. once you have changed all the orientations to "external by another component" save the building project, return to the Simulation Studio, right click on the Type56 icon and select "update building variable list"

kind regards,

 David

Thank you very much Jaff for answering me. To solve a little more confusion, i need your kind attention. As I want to apply radiation data on my

 building by connecting TYPE 16 with TYPE 56 and gives there all the surface orientations. In a TYPE 56 there is no input to connect with solar 

radiation. If I add new inputs on the basis of my orientations and then attached all radiation output of TYPE 16 as an input in TYPE 56 does it will 

work? and give me the total solar energy gain inside???

Use more than one Type 16 hooked up to the single Type 9.
