Dear Ines,
I agree with Jeff. It seems that you have a problem with the path
definition of the external files in your .dck file... I had a similar
example with finding the weather file I'm using... I'm writing the code
here below (only the part related to type 109, copied from the .dck file):
*CODE*
*---------*
* Model "Type109-TMY2" (Type 109)
*
UNIT 4 TYPE 109 Type109-TMY2
*$UNIT_NAME Type109-TMY2
*$MODEL .\Weather Data Reading and Processing\Standard
Format\TMY2\Type109-TMY2.tmf
*$POSITION 201 274
*$LAYER Weather - Data Files #
PARAMETERS 4
2 ! 1 Data Reader Mode
302 ! 2 Logical unit
4 ! 3 Sky model for diffuse radiation
1 ! 4 Tracking mode
INPUTS 9
0,0 ! [unconnected] Ground reflectance
0,0 ! [unconnected] Slope of surface-1
0,0 ! [unconnected] Azimuth of surface-1
0,0 ! [unconnected] Slope of surface-2
0,0 ! [unconnected] Azimuth of surface-2
0,0 ! [unconnected] Slope of surface-3
0,0 ! [unconnected] Azimuth of surface-3
0,0 ! [unconnected] Slope of surface-4
0,0 ! [unconnected] Azimuth of surface-4
*** INITIAL INPUT VALUES
0.2 90 180 90 0 90 -90 90 90
*** External files
ASSIGN* "IT-Palermo-Point-Raisi-164050.tm2" 302*
*|? Weather data file |1000
*The problem was in the red highlighted part... The corrected path I used
afterwards is here below:*
ASSIGN* "C:\Program
Files\Trnsys16\Examples\TRIAL02\IT-Palermo-Point-Raisi-164050.tm2" 302*
Also, I would recommend you check out the master thesis attached... It
helped a lot with initiating my first GenOpt Trials.
I hope this helps, please let me know if it works... I'm currently working
on a case sensitivity analysis and I'm trying to get the results in terms
of the MRT, PMV and PPD... I'm a bit stuck in how to show/post-process the
huge number of results, so I'm trying to see as many cases as possible to
get inspired.
Best of Luck,
Amr
