Seyyed,
I would recommend that you work your way through the
01-GettingStarted.pdf manual that is located in the \Documentation
directory. There is also a 02-SimulationStudio.pdf manual that
will explain how the interface functions and how to interpret the
information that is being presented in each of the fields.
The mathematical descriptions of the components (such as the
boiler) are not provided with the demo version.
regards,
David

That's brilliant
The thing I am just struggling to follow is, if for instance for a boiler the input value for the boiler efficiency is set and the Macro button is toggled, are we expecting the efficiency to stay fixed during the time? and how the macro is impleneted here. The problem is I can't find the documentation of Boiler's in 2017 version.

Sadjad,
Absolutely that's how TRNSYS works. TRNSYS models take time independent values called PARAMETERS and time-dependent values called INPUTS together to calculate the OUTPUTS from the model. The inputs can be from another model, set to a constant value, read from an external file, set by a function etc.
We have several "heating unit" models and they differ on how they calculate the performance. Most read a performance data file that returns a value based on the inlet operating conditions.

Hello all
I am looking into use TRNSYS for dynamic simulation. However, I am struggling to find out if the software actually works in a dynamic condition. To be specific I would like to know if the efficiency of a heating unit is calculated as a function of the relevant parameters (i.e. time, temperature, pressure)???
