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) 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.

@jolind You could treat the intermediate floor structure above as a thermal resistance rather than as a thermally massive structure. Another thing I w...
@jolind I think what you are seeing is the building's time base, which is a bit like a time step. Type56 uses something called the conduction transfer...
@oumaima The new Type (Type1254) includes a documented example. I would not really call the example a tutorial because while the documentation explain...
@jolind There is unfortunately not a way to set the initial value of an active layer and yes, the initial active layer temperature output does display...
@franzdra the SAVE attribute will maintain values from call to call of the subroutine but if you have two instances of the same Type in your simulatio...
@franzdra That is totally normal. There are many components that have to iterate internally during each of TRNSYS's iterations.
@franzdra to add on to @a_weiss's excellent and (as ever) thorough answer, the idea of the static array storage in v18 is that it provides a place to ...
@gehadrabee24 I'm glad that it was resolved.
@sv2541 It could have something to do with the timebase. Type56 uses something called the Conduction Transfer Function method to represent energy tran...
