[TRNSYS-users] Type 340 and TRNEDIT

[David BRADLEY]

Jorge,
   The character combination *|( is recognized by TRNSED as the syntax 
for beginning a group of checkboxes. In the case of Type340 I guess that 
the proforma has a variable in it called (UA)s,a1. TRNEdit (which 
interprets TRNSED syntax) is getting confused by the open parenthesis 
character. It thinks a checkbox group is starting and doesn't understand 
that the "(" is part of the variable in a numerical value field.

   The way to fix the problem permanently is to edit the Type340 
proforma and change the name of the parameter so that it does not have a 
parenthesis as its first character, then right click on Type340 in your 
project and select "replace" from the context menu. Browse to find the 
location of the modified proforma and then generate your TRNSED 
application again.

   A much simpler fix would be to simply change the TRNSED line to read:

UASAHEAT=0
*|Heat loss capacity rate of the store through the first zone (dz1) of 
the store mantle |kJ/hr.K|kJ/hr.K|0|1|0|1000000.00000|1000

   With this second fix, the problem would come back if you were to ever 
generate another TRNSED application from a simulation that includes Type340.

Kind regards,
  David
