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.
Dear all,
Imagine I have experimental data of a given Temperature measuered each 5 seconds during 4 days. And now I want to input this data into type 936 in the variable of the exterior temperature. How is that possible?
Can I recreate the same transient profile of how an input variable should change along time?
Best regards
Daniel
Daniel,
I would recommend that you put the profile into Excel or some other spreadsheet tool. On each line, put a numerical timestamp in the first column and the value of the profile in the second. It is okay if your columns have headers. Save the file as *.csv (comma separated values). You can then read the file into Trnsys using Type9 (Utility: Data Readers: Generic Data Files: Expert Mode). Your simulation time step will only be able to be as long as the data step in your profile but then the outputs of Type9 can be the inputs to whatever you need them to be in your Trnsys simulation.
kind regards,
David
