Re: [TRNSYS-users] Doubt about Type 997
The Type 997 output files follow a simple format that is described
below. Registered users have access to a brand new soil temperature
viewer that shows the temperature field in any of the 3 planar views.
But to your question:
First imagine that you are looking down on the soil from above as you
would a piece of paper on your desk. Moving from left to right is the
x-direction (i), moving from bottom to top is the y-direction (j), and
moving down from the surface is the z-direction (k). Therefore the
lower left corner of your "paper", at the surface, is node (1,1,1). The
bottom right corner at the soil surface would be (NX,1,1), the upper
left corner at the surface would be (1,NY,1) and the upper right corner
at the surface would be (NX,NY,1). In a similar manner, the lower left
corner of your paper at the very bottom of the soil field would be
(1,1,NZ). With that in mind the format of the file is then:
NX NY NZ !Number of nodes in x, y and z directions
DX(1) DX(2)....DX(NX) !The size of the nodes in the x-direction
DY(1) DY(2)....DY(NY) !The size of the nodes in the y-direction
DZ(1) DZ(2)....DX(NZ) !The size of the nodes in the z-direction
These lines are supplied only once. The following lines are repeated in
patterns for for each vertical node. Let's assume 3 nodes in the
x-direction, 4-nodes in the y-direction and 3 nodes in the z-direction
so you can see the pattern
*Vertical Layer = 1
T(1,4,,1) T(2,4,1) T(3,4,1)
T(1,3,,1) T(2,3,1) T(3,3,1)
T(1,2,,1) T(2,2,1) T(3,2,1)
T(1,1,,1) T(2,1,1) T(3,1,1)
*Vertical Layer = 2
T(1,4,,2) T(2,4,2) T(3,4,2)
T(1,3,,2) T(2,3,2) T(3,3,2)
T(1,2,,2) T(2,2,2) T(3,2,2)
T(1,1,,2) T(2,1,2) T(3,1,2)
*Vertical Layer = 3
T(1,4,,3) T(2,4,3) T(3,4,3)
T(1,3,,3) T(2,3,3) T(3,3,3)
T(1,2,,3) T(2,2,3) T(3,2,3)
T(1,1,,3) T(2,1,3) T(3,1,3)
So if you don't want to use the temperature viewer, you could figure out
which z-layer occurs at the 2 meter depth and grab those temperatures in
the x-y plane and put them into Excel or any other graphing package.
The nice thing about the temperature viewer is that it accounts for the
different sizes of nodes where Excel will not (well not easily).
Hope this helps.

Hello everyone!
I’m working with type 997 to model horizontal heat exchanger in the
ground and I need to know how the temperature of the ground behaves at
two meters depth during one year. I realized that type 997 gives an
external file with temperatures of soil but I don’t understand the
format and how to interpret it. This shows temperatures of various
vertical layers and another numbers that I don’t understand.
I’m modeling a ground heat exchanger with 6 pipes in a layer and 2
layers of pipes.
Can somebody explain how understand this external file of the type
997? Anyone knows how to interpret it?
I need it to finish my thesis!
Thanks in advance!
