Re: [TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS-users Digest, Vol 170, Issue 15

Farhan,

The equation is used to SET the value of the parameter.

Area_Collector = 10.0

Then in the parameters tab of the collector, change the units of the collector area to STRING or VARIABLE NAME (depending on your version) and enter the name Area_Collector.  

If you want to plot this variable, use the link tool and connect the equation to the plotter,

Dear Jeff, i got your point and the same name i have specified in the performa tab but when i put the same name in equation, red color appear mean equation can't get the value from performa tab.....

It won’t be a very exciting plot because parameters don’t change with time, but if you still want to do it the easiest way is with equations.  Set an equation to the collector area, use that name when you specify the area in the parameters tab of the proforma, and then connect that equation to your plotter.

I want to ask you that can i plot on graph the parameters of any component in TRNSYS. There is option to plot output variables but there is no option to plot parameters.
Like i want to plot area of flat plate collector...

Olivier,

Did you use the plug-in to generate the data file or try to do it by hand?  The plug-in does all of the file formatting for you and is highly recommended!

Hello,

I'm trying to use the Tess lib Flat bottom Tank type 531. As specified in the documentation, I write all the parameters needed in the data file, but tnrsys returns a message 103, with an illegal parameter. The reference of this parameter is variable for the same simulation, so it seems that i can't use it to find the error. "Parameter 9" error often comes back. I tried many configurations, with no ports, no hx, no auxiliary, I carefully cycled the concerned parameters by repeating them in the file, but the problem is the same.

Is there a special syntax to use in the dat file? When the documentation says "no further parameter is needed", should I continue with the next used parameter or do I have to write something in the dat file before go the the next one? Is it possible to annotate the dat file (write a text that type531 doesn't "see"), so that I can give a name to each parameter and make faster modifications?

Thanks a lot for your help

Kind regards,

Olivier
