[TRNSYS-users] Error message

[David BRADLEY]

Anthony,
   The short answer to your question is that no, there is no way that 
TRNSYS can send you an email when it completes. I did write a component 
that plays a sound when one of its inputs is triggered because I wanted 
to know when my simulation ran into a particular combination of 
conditions. You'd have to monitor the simulation but at least it would 
alert you. The component is in the Trnsys17 TESS Utility Library.

   There is also a "triggered printer" component in the TESS Utility 
Library that will write to a file when its input is triggered. I'm not 
sure how you would trigger the printer when an error occurs because at 
that point the simulation is stuck.

Lastly, which version of TRNSYS are you running? With the release of 
Trnsys16 in 2004, the window data for a particular building was 
contained in the building description file (*.bui or later in Trnsys17 
*.b17). It shouldn't need to go find anything in the w4-lib.dat. If you 
are picking different windows from one optimization to another, you can 
include them all in the *.bui each with a different ID, then choose the 
window ID that you want to run in a particular iteration of your 
optimization.

Best,
  David
