Welcome to the TRNSYS Users Forum.
The forum is a place where people can interact and have discussions about different topics involving the use of the TRNSYS software package. Here you can post topics for discussion or questions on using TRNSYS and get advice from other users or TRNSYS experts. This forum is not intended for detailed technical support. Users should contact their distributor’s hotline for such assistance.
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,
Using Window 7.8, I created a double glazing window . After importing it in TRNSYS, I get the followng error :
*** Fatal Error at time : 0.000000
Generated by Unit : 39
Generated by Type : 56
Message : iniglasdata: value negative or greater then 1 for visual absorption was found after fitting for Window-ID 3 : abs_vis= -.0000000230 at angle = 90
Could you please help me on this error and how to make this window work. The glazing is 6mm Planbiel Grey / 22 mm Argon 90% / 4mm Planibel Clearlite.
Attached is the file I'm loading in type 56 and getting an error from TRNSYS.
Thank you.
this error has to do with a curve fit that Type56 is attempting to do on the window data. Sometimes I have had some luck with plotting the visual absorption points in the Window 7 report, curve fitting them myself, and then adjusting the data values ever so slightly to prevent the curve fit from going negative. If you don't have any luck with that then send the *.b18 file to your distributor and they can assist.
cheers,
Alasdair
