Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type 14 Forcing Function Plugin Crash



Prasanth,

I have seen this behavior a few other times but do not have a solution that has worked in all cases.


First, please make sure that TRNSYS is not installed in either the \Program Files\ or \Program Files (x86) directories. These directories have very strict read/write permission issues that can cause all kinds of problems with TRNSYS because TRNSYS has to create output files.


Sometimes the problem with the Type14 plugin has to do with a particular project (*.tpf file) and does not occur if you drag a Type14 component into another project. Sometimes the problem has to do with screen resolution. If you have a very high resolution screen, try turning the resolution down a bit. Other times, there seems to be an incompatibility between the plugin and Windows on particular computers. If you have access to another computer, you might try to launch the plugin there.


If none of the above suggestions make a difference then the workaround is to simply enter the parameter values directly into the proforma instead of using the plugin. For complex schedules, it may be preferable to use either one of the Types in the TESS Applications library or to put the schedule in an external file and use Type9 to read it.

kind regards,

 David

David,

No, I am not using any variable names for parameter values. I'm using the default 14x components. The first instance I click the plugin wizard it doesn't launch. The second instance it crashes the application. 

Kind Regards,
Prashanth

Prashanth,

  By any chance are you using variable names for any of the parameter values in your Type14? Those can make the plugin crash.

kind regards,

 David

Hello,

I want to post this on the forum.

I am having issues with the type 14 components. I can't seem to be able to use the plugin in any of the type 14 components. TRNSYS crashes immediately after I click the plugin wizard button. I have tried restarting the computer and re-installing TRNSYS but it hasn't changed anything. 
I'm running the latest version of TRNSYS on a windows 10 64 bit system. 

Could you please help me get this posted and maybe someone can help me out.


Sincerely,
Prashanth
