[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS15 startime

Hello Diego

Yes, but that won't solve the restart problem. When restarting the first 
"forcing" is neglected, but it shouldn't be!
In the restart the module I use reads in a file saved during a previous run 
and resumes the calculations. Now, if
I run the whole simulation at once, the very first timestep is neglected 
and the rest of the simulation is continuous.
However, if I restart the first timestep of the restart (say, the 43800 
step of the complete simulation) is again
neglected and the results are not continuous.

Can that be solved (i.e. can you force TRNSYS to actually calculate the 
first timestep as well?).
