Re: [TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS 18 Type 15 Reading in CWEC files

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Keelia,

If my memory serves (and it very often does not) I seem to recall that a long time ago, CWEC files had the same format as EnergyPlus weather files. The CWEC and EPW formats are treated the same in Trnsys and if the *.wy3 format is different then that would explain the error.

  Could you send me a sample *.wy3 file? If TRNSYS does not correctly read that format then we should make it do so.

kind regards,

 David

Hello everyone,

I am new to TRNSYS 18 and I'm trying to get a Type 15 to read in a CWEC weather file (extension .WY3). I try to change the input file parameter to 5 in order to read the proper file format, but even going into the proforma and changing this value does not make any difference. 

I save the type after I've changed the parameter file, then run the program, but I always get the error that TRNSYS can't read the input file.

I can't find the weather data for this specific region in any other format. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers,

Keelia
