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,
I want to simulate the heating period in Sweden, from approx Oct 1 to April 1 the year after. What is the normal way to do this, when it comes to weather data and simlulation start/stop time? Should I use weather data for two years (Jan 1 in first year to Dec 31 in second year) and set the simulation start time that corresponds to 1 Oct? What happens when the simulation time exceeds 8760 hr?
I use type 99 for the weather data.
Best regards,
Johan
@jolind You'd set the simulation start time as 6552 (october 1) and the simulation stop time to 10920 (8760+2160). When Type99 (also Types9 and 15) gets to the end of the data file, the data file will be "rewound" and the Type will continue reading from the beginning.
kind regards,
David
