<In type 4a thermal storage , the unit of the second parameter in this
type which consist of " VOLUME OF THE TANK " is in m3 or other unit as you
know , but this parameter is it , forexemple, in m3 per hour or per day or
it takes automatically the simulation step that I fixed in control cards(
Hour , day , s,  month ...) ?>

The volume of the tank is a volumetric term (cubic meters, gallons, etc.)
and not a volumetric flow rate.  It has nothing to do with the timestep or
for that mater with time.  It's simply the amount of fluid that the
container holds.
