[TRNSYS-users] number of instances

[David Bradley]

Jens,
   Most components are not limited in the number of instances that 
can occur within a simulation. Unfortunately, Type65 is limited 
because there is a predefined maximum size of the data structures 
that the Fortran TRNDll.dll and the Delphi TRNExe.exe pass back and 
forth. You are able to have a maximum of 5 plots visible at one time 
in TRNSYS 16. You can have as many Type65s in your simulation as you 
want but only the first five instances will display when the 
simulations run. You can control which ones are visible to some 
extent because there is a Type65 parameter that allows you to shut 
off the online plot without removing that instance of Type65 from the 
simulation. I often have a lot of Type65s but with only 5 visible at one time.
Kind regards,
  David
