The Intel compiler is not fully supported in the current release of 
TRNSYS 16 (we actually have most problems at runtime, not when compiling 
or linking the project). Until we find a solution to those problems, you 
can use the Intel compiler to add Types to TRNSYS by compiling and 
linking them into an external DLL that you put in the \UserLib folder. 
There is no need to recompile TRNDll.dll if your only purpose is to add 
Types.

Kind regards,
