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 everyone 🙂 ,
I would like to share a tool that may be interesting for TRNSYS users who need to create detailed multi-zone building models.
IZUBA, the French distributor and support team for TRNSYS, has developed a gateway between Pleiades Modeleur and TRNBuild.
This can be particularly useful for users working with multi-zone buildings. In Pleiades Modeleur, zones can be created with a single click, and the contacts between adjacent zones are automatically detected. There is no need to manually define the connections between zones, which can significantly simplify the modeling process and reduce the risk of errors 😎 .
Another advantage is the easy definition of solar shading and surrounding obstacles. The building environment can be imported directly into Pleiades Modeleur, making it much easier to model neighboring buildings that affect solar gains . And also the possibility to define and export different schedules, such as occupancy, ventilation, heating and cooling.
