[TRNSYS-users] S-array

[David Bradley]

Dear Leen,
   It was decided with the development of TRNSYS 16 that the S-array was 
difficult to use and even more difficult to explain to others. I am 
embarrassingly famous for messing it up myself. While the S array still 
exists in TRNSYS 16 for legacy mode components (components that are simple 
"version signed" as TRNSYS 15 components), the recommended procedure is to 
replace your use of the s-array with use of three functions: 
setStorageSize( ), getStorageVars( ), and setStorageVars( ). There is a 
section in the 08-Programmers Guide manual that explains the idea of these 
functions, their syntax, and how to make use of them when converting your 
TRNSYS 15 Type to TRNSYS 16.
Kind regards,
   David
