Some tips for success on using the forum:

  • Follow the Forum Rules posted in Forum Administration.
  • There are categories for different types of topics and questions. Post your topic or question into the proper category.
  • Before posting a topic or question search the existing topics  (and the TRNSYS Users listserv archive or Post archive) to see if a similar topic or question has already been answered.
  • Use a descriptive topic name. Don’t use attention getting subjects, they don’t get attention and only annoy people.
  • State the version of TRNSYS and which add-ons your are using.
  • Include enough specific details for your topic of question to be answered. Just posting “Why am I getting an error?” without describing the specific error and what you are trying to do when you get the error will not receive a response that fixes your issue.
  • Remember when people help you, they are doing you a favor. Be patient, help people out by posting good descriptions of what you need help with, and be polite even if a response does not solve your issue.
  • Moderators may edit your post for clarity or move your topic to a more appropriate category.

Hello, everyone,

  There is an fatal error from Type 56 after I change the model of windows in the TRNBuild:

Surface 675 : Slope of a window must be between 0 and 90 degree"

How can I solve this problem?

Hello,

this error message relates to the slope defined in the window type manager, which  is used for calculating the heat transfer by convection of gaps between glass panes. The currently implemented correlation of the standard window is valid in the range of 0° to 90°. The slope can be a user-defined value and automatically set by the surface orientation, respectively.
For solving the problem set the slope in the window type manager to a value within the range.

NOTE:
The slope defined in the window type manager has NO influence on the optical calculation of solar radiation.
