[TRNSYS-users] Save Problems with Project Includes Macros

[Gassem Azzain]

Dear TRNSYS users,

The IISiBat3 is very nice tool to write TRNSYS input files but surely 
without Macros?!!!

Is there any one still likes Macros? With me, it is already gone with the wind!

It is really horrible when you prepare a complex project very carefully 
with nice Macros especially of Single Zones and then suddenly you 
discover that you can't save your work, not only, in fact, you can't do any 
thing with it, since it is some times impossible even to cut and paste 
or make any modifications, simply becuase the IISiBat gose off with windows error massege. 
The real horror may come from your last trial to rescue your project 
using the import TRNSYS input file function, because when you restore the 
project via this function you will find that each of your TYPE19 Single Zone 
Macros has been changed into a single componen including all your building discription 
components ( Zones, Walls, Windos, Geroms and other facilities ) with very 
complicated links that are impossible to review! and if you take into consideration 
that all the lables of your equations inputs have been changed into Inputs-n or 
Input1, Input2, Input3,..etc. until Inputn  . then, you will have the reason to be very angry and frustrated. 
Now I have a real nightmare!!! please don't tell me that I have to repeat every thing from the beginning!
Are there any other rescue method from this sitiuation?
I hope that we will not face such a problem with the forthcoming TRNSYS16 "the Visual Studio" .
 
Best regards
G. Azzain
