Re: [TRNSYS-users] Error simulation time step

[Jeff Thornton <thornton@tess-inc.com>]

Would you control the real system that you are modeling to make decisions only once an hour?  That’s what you are replicating by having an hour timestep.  Add pipes, reduce your timestep to ~1 minute and you’ll start to see results that you’d see if you built this system.

Dear TRNSYS users,

     I use TRNSYS 18 for solar absorption cooling system as in Fig.1. While i set the simulation time step was 5 minutes, the system can simulate. However, when i changed the simulation time step into 30 minutes or 1 hour, the system cannot operate. The TRNSYS program show 2 error that below(as see in Fig.2)

1.)TRNSYS Messsage 203 ---> A convergence problem was encountered. Modification of the TOLERANCES control card may cure the problem.

2.)TRNSYS Messsage 450 ---> The maximum number of warnings allowed per simulation has been exceed. Please fix these warnings or increase the limit on the number of warnings allowed per simulation  

    Then i wonder that why i cannot set the simulation time step at any time. Does anyone have any idea or solution? 

Thank you for your comment.
