[TRNSYS-users] Creating new component

[David BRADLEY]

Janne,
   You do need to move the file to the ..\Trnsys17\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\ 
directory.

   From what you describe, it sounds as though the error is in the code, 
not in the compiling. If there were a compiling (or more likely a 
linking error) then your component would generate an error. Instead it 
is generating values, but not the right ones. It is possible (and very 
helpful) to add the component to the TRNDll recompile project then to 
debug the entire simulation run from the compiler. This allows you to 
step one line at a time through the code and look at intermediate 
values. The procedure is laid out in the 07-Programmer's Guide.

   If that is too complicated, I would recommend that you create a few 
outputs in your Type that simply mirror the input and parameter values, 
then watch those and make sure you can simply pass data through your Type.

   Yes, it is possible to call a subroutine within your Type. Simply end 
it with RETURN though (not Return 1)
Kind regards,
  David

I followed the instructions described in Chapter 1.8 in the getting stated manual to generate the new component; however the project workspace generated by TRNSYS has an extension .dsp and I am unable to open this project file. When I try to open the .dsp file with Microsoft Visual Studio, I am asked if I want to convert the file into a Visual C++ project file, which generates a .ncb and a .vcproj files. When I try to build the project compailer creates .sln file and I obtain the following two errors(Build log as attachment file):
