Marcello,
You are correct that a new version is planned for release in summer
2009. The major new features of version 17 will center on the building
model. Specifically, TRNSYS will do a much better job of handling
building self shading and internal solar radiation distribution through
the use of a graphical preprocessor. The details are not yet fully
worked out but in the current testing, the user draws the building in
Google SketchUp, then exports it to TRNBuild through the use of a
preprocessor). The user will probably have to adjust the way that they
structure information in TRNBuild. The use of the preprocessor itself is
quite straightforward and the structure of the TRNSYS Studio will not
change substantially. One important new feature there is planned to be a
two-tab view of the input file (*.dck and *.tpf). Another new feature
will be a very flexible component that will calculate energy transfer
between a building and the ground. There will be a number of other new
features and models as well but these three are the most significant
developments.
Kind regards,
David
