[TRNSYS-users] How to skip timesteps if they don't reach convergence?



Hello TRNSYS users,

I've noticed that some simulations finish with  messages that say that a certain component (or components) doesn't reach convergence at certain timesteps. The message is the following:

" The inputs to the listed units have not converged at this timestep. The values at the last iteration will be used and the simulation will proceed."

Right now I'm doing a simulation with 5 min timestep that works well but gets stuck at  hour 150, for example. If I change the simulation start time everytime this happens so the simulation can continue, it keeps calculating until  it gets stuck again 200 hours later.

I assume the TRNEXE gets stuck because of non convergence. Since the non converged timesteps are neglectable, how can I set TRNSYS to automatically ignore this timesteps and set the input/ouputs of the problematic units to the previous ones?

Is there a chapter in the TRNSYS Documentation that I should check?

Thanks in advance,
Javier Vega
