Re: [TRNSYS-users] Reading Parameter from Types



Tom,

 Parameters cannot be passed from one component to another. The best solution, I think, would be to take the pipe diameter as a parameter to your model. In the simulation studio you can then set the value of that parameter as the result of an equation (select units of "string" in Trnsys17 or units of "variable name" in Trnsys18). Then define an equation such as

pipe_dia = 0.02

and use pipe_dia as the value of the parameter for both components.

kind regards,

 David

Dear TRNSYS-Community,

 

for my own type I need to know the diameter of type 31, in order to apply Torricelli´s Law. There for I´m looking for an solution to get the parameter of type 31. Is there a way?

 

Kind regards

Tom
