[TRNSYS-users] :-(( Re: Shading masks

[David Bradley]

Adrien,
  Check the order of your components. If Type56 
appears in the input file before the shading 
component then it gets called first and sometimes 
gets an incidence angle from the previous time 
step before it gets the revised incidence angle from the current time step.
Cheers,
  David
