[TRNSYS-users] Type 557 (TESS)

[Flynn Ciaran]

Hi Felix and trnsys-users,

I am also using type 557a and would like to get more temperatures than just the average storage temperature (output 3), however I am also short of ideas... I've looked at many other threads but have not come across a solution..

I took a look at the source code for Type557, tried to modify the line "OUT(9)=TUTMED(0)[...] OUT(10)= TUTMED(1)" with "OUT(9)=TUTMED(1)[...] OUT(10)=TUTMED(0)" but this didn't seem to change anything... The file Type557.exe in the Plug-in folder might play an important part, making it difficult to change code like this (?)

If anyone knows how to get the temperatures at all nodes (parameter 7 * parameter 8) as outputs that would be great!

Thanks,
Ciarán

Hello,

I am trying to simulate a vertical U-Tube heat exchanger with the TESS Model Type 557a. For the validation and comparison with another simulation it would be really helpful to get the temperature field around the borehole as output. Looking at the Fortran Code, I noticed that the average soil temperature is written in OUT(9) and the following OUT-fields.
I wondered how I could get them into Simulation Studio. I tried to change the Proforma and add the missing lines. But then I got an error like

"The listed input referenced an output number beyond the allocated outputs

for the connected type."
I had a look in the Trnvdst.inc file and thought that I could solve the problem by setting the Parameter "MAXSPE  = Maximum number of specified output ground temperatures" from 10 to a higher value and then recompile the dll but that doesn't solve the problem.

The error has already been reported but only in another context.

Has anyone any idea how to deal this or some experiences with simulations of type 557?

Thank you in advance
Felix
