Re: [TRNSYS-users] Question on adding more than nine external files in TRNSYS

Specifically, I have noticed that when I am trying to add external
files to my component, there are only nine blank spaces provided to
add details of these files. However, I need to add more than nine
external files to my component, and I am not sure how to do this.

In the future, please post your questions to the new TRNSYS forum. We are migrating all of the TRNSYS support to that platform as it has a host of advantages compared to this mailing list. But to answer your question, the Studio only allows you to have 9 external files in a proforma and there's no work-around for that limitation that I know of. But there isn't a corresponding limitation in TRNSYS. So you can build your proforma without using the external files tab and then just assign the files in the Control Cards. For example set Parameter 1 to 52 and then set the following command:

ASSIGN InsertFileNameHere.dat   52

That's all that the Studio is doing when it processes the project at runtime.
