[TRNSYS-users] variable storage problems

[David Bradley]

Jeroen,
   I am infamous among my colleagues for having caused the problem that you 
describe more times than any one else. I looked at the code you sent and 
cannot directly see the cause of the problem. It looks to me as though you 
are using getStorageVars and setStorageVars() properly. My initial guess 
was that you might not want to update the storage array at the end of each 
iteration but only at the end of the time step (when INFO(13) > 0) but 
without seeing it run, I cannot be certain. If you have a simple project 
that uses two instances of the thermostatic valve, I would be happy to take 
a look at it from the debugger.
Cheers,
  David
