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.

Issue with Running Simulation in Simulation Studio - Multiple Thermal Zones

Dear TRNSYS community,

I am writing to seek assistance regarding a problem while attempting to run a simulation in Simulation Studio.

Upon attempting to run the simulation with the provided input file, I noticed that there was no resulting output for the project creation. After reviewing the file, I suspect that the considerable number of thermal zones (142 in total) might be a contributing factor.Given that my computer has 12 GB of installed memory, with 11.9 GB being usable.
To provide further context, here's an overview of the file's statistics:

File Size: [1765 KB]
Objects in the File:
Zones: 142
Base Surfaces: [1290]
Sub Surfaces: [266]
Shading Surfaces: [3]
Other Objects: [30]

Total objects: 1731

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Just to close the loop on this question; the SketchUp building model had a number of incorrectly assigned constructions, and some airnodes that were not fully closed. The *.idf could not be imported into TRNBuild.
