Re: [TRNSYS-users] Is it possible to use a string variable in a deck file

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

Eric,

There’s not.  But you can assign all the files in your project and then pass the logical units of the ones you want to the components that need them.

ASSIGN FILE1 25

ASSIGN FILE2 26

ASSIGN FILE3 27

Equations 1

LU_Weather = 27

Unit 2 Type 876 Data Reader

Parameters 1

LU_ Weather

Hope this helps!

Hi,

 

I am making great advances my editing a deck file to be generic my establishing user defined CONSTANTS

and then using these in the various modules that are linked in what I created with Simulations Studio. 

 

Every more utility is obtained by then adding EQUATIONS immediately thereafter to adjust the parameters called by the modules!

 

Now may I please ask if there is a way to have a string variable so that I can change a module’s ASSIGN reference to an assortment of desirable external files, such as weather data?
