[TRNSYS-users] difference between ver 14.2 and 16

[David Bradley]

Dear Mohammad,
   There have been a great many changes made in TRNSYS between versions 
14.2 and 16. The most visible ones, of course, are the improvements to the 
graphical interface. In TRNSYS 14.2, the graphical interface was a generic 
tool that could be used on more than one operating system. With TRNSYS 15 
and TRNSYS 16, the interface is a native Windows tool and so is much easier 
to manipulate. The TRNSYS source code (kernel and components) have 
undergone major modifications and improvements as well, including the 
addition of new models. As I mentioned in a previous email, the mathematics 
of the thermosiphon model have not changed dramatically except to have been 
updated to the TRNSYS 16 coding standard, which is more strict than the 
TRNSYS 15 (or earlier) coding standard. You might visit either 
http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys or http://www.trnsys.com in order to see what 
the latest version of TRNSYS looks like.
Kind regards,
  david
