[TRNSYS-users] Trnsed file problem

[David Bradley]

Dear Krishna,
   We have fixed this problem in version 16.00.0038, which will be 
available from your distributor shortly. In version 16.00.0037, variable 
names that start with CON, EQU, INC, and END are illegal because these are 
recognized by the simulation input file parser as matching the keywords 
CONSTANTS, EQUATIONS, INCLUDE, and END. Ever since its beginning, TRNSYS 
has actually only paid attention to the first three letters of each 
keyword. Since Studio is a jumping off point for developing TRNSED 
simulations, what I would suggest you do is to generate the TRNSED comments 
in the input file, then switch to editing the input file in TRNEdit.exe. 
 From there, as you correctly pointed out, you can modify the illegal 
equation names and run the simulation from TRNEdit.exe.
Kind regards,
   David
