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.
Hi everyone,
I am writing to ask for some help with my PhD thesis research on solar systems. Specifically, I am having trouble finding the solar farm and tower components in Transis 18. I need to simulate the Rangin cycle, and I am hoping that someone can help me with this issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Masoud,
I am not aware of any such components for the standard 64-bit version of Trnsys18. There is a library of components called the STEC Library that do contain such components. They were written by some TRNSYS users quite a few years ago and donated to the Trnsys community. They are compatible with the 32-bit version of Trnsys18 and with earlier Trnsys version. If you want them, I can send them to you. They are provided as-is and without technical support. As a side note, having tried to use some of them, I would urge a lot of caution in working with them. A lot of the components make what I consider to be some assumptions of questionable validity.
