Re: [TRNSYS-users] Initial value for outputs

Dear M. Thornton,

You are totally right regarding that it’s not necessary to go and rebuilt all the TRNDLL. In order to rebuild just my only one component; I am following these steps;

1) Open Trnsys17 > Compilers Ivf111 > Select Type 164 > Modify it (JPEG1)

2) Right it click on the type > Compile. After that I have 0 errors and 0 warnings (JPEG2)

Now in order to rebuild it (not all of the types)

3) Generate > only project > build TRNDLL (JPEG3) (Is this right)? (I don’t know if this is right, because by this steps it is affecting all the types and not only mine) and I am affraid to affect the other types.

After that where the (Type164).dll will be located? In Ivf111 >TRNDll > Debug > TRNDll.lib ? (So it will remain at the same place and so the new dll take the place of the old dll; is it right ?)

Now after step 3 is there any procedure left to do it? Are these 3 steps are enough in order to Trnsys take into consideration the changes? If step 3 is wrong, can you tell me please step by step what procedure should I take.

Many thanks for your enormous help.

Ghady,

Yes - those are the steps to include your component changes if you have the model as part of your large TRNSYS library. But you can also build a DLL for just that component as part of the TRNSYS User Library approach. I suggest that you eventually try that approach so you don't have to rebuild everything every time you make a change.

Dear M. Thornton,

In order to do eddit the type:

1) Modify the type (Add initial output values)
2) Recompile it
3) Rebuild the TRNDLL
Are these the steps ?
In order to Rebuild the library, I follow the procedure in ProgrammersGuide (Instructions to rebuild TRNDll.dll with Intel Visual Fortran 9.1 and MS Visual Studio 2003) ?
Have a nice day

Dear M. Thornton,

Thank you very much for help.

You are totally right, I tried to create a new component but it's not easy. So i'll just modify the initial values like you told me.

But in order to compile the Type 164, and rebuilt the library after modifying the type, should I generate the TRNDLL in MVS (JPEG1) ? By this step Trnsys will be able to take the modifications in consideration ? Is it sure that the other types will not be affected ?

So step : 1: Modify the type; 2 : Generate TRNDLL in MVS ?

Thank you in advance

Unless you want to completely re-write a version 16 component in version 17 format (and you are certainly willing to attempt that if you'd like), I would suggest that you leave it in version 16 format and just change the output initialization line as I suggested earlier. Find the lines:
!set initial output values
OUT(1:NO)=0.d0

and replace them with your initial values:
Out(1) =20.d0
Out(2) = 0.do
etc.

Hello,

In order to add the initial value outputs in the Type 164 code, I prefer to create a new type and not modify the existed one in Trnsys Library.

For that I created a new component using Trnsys 17. I had some difficulties because it’s not the same code writing from defining inputs, outputs and parameters to storage; I managed to copy the code line that I am interested in but the problem remains with the storage array.

In fact when I created the new component (from Trnsys), I didn’t notice any place where I can specify my number of storage (Which is equal to 2 in Type 164).



Do I set my storage number there: ‘’Call SetNumberStoredVariables(0,0)’’; It’s not like the inputs and parameters where I defined their numbers them in Trnsys.

I have to include (in my new component ''type210'') the storage array in FOUR places just like in type 164a:

POST CONVERGENCE MANIPULAITIONS

        CALL getStorageVars(STORED,NS,INFO)

        STORED(1)=STORED(2)

        CALL setStorageVars(STORED,NS,INFO)

PERFORM FIRST CALL MANIPULATIONS

CALL setStorageSize(NS,INFO)

PERFORM INITIAL TIMESTEP MANIPULATIONS

        STORED(1:NS) = N_INI       !NO. OF MOLES IN PREVIOUS TIME STEP

        CALL setStorageVars(STORED,NS,INFO)

UPDATE STORAGE

STORED(2) = NGAS

  CALL setStorageVars(STORED,NS,INFO)

Are these nomenclatures work in the Type210 created by Trnsys 17? Or I have to include other nomenclatures ? such as getStaticArrayValue ? and for the others ?

Thank you in advance for your support.
