[TRNSYS-users] Problems with the number of Parameters/Inputs when switching from TRNSYS 16.0 to TRNSYS 16.1

[David Bradley]

Jochen,
  There should not be any changes necessary to a 
component (fortran or the proformas) between 
TRNSYS v 16.0 and 16.1. The only difference that 
I can think of is that with earlier versions 
(prior to 16.00.0038) external DLLs were all in 
the ..\Trnsys16\UserLib\ directory. We changed 
this because if the TRNDll.dll was compiled in 
one mode (debug versus release) and the external 
DLLs were compiled in the other mode then there 
were communication problems between the two. With 
later releases, if the TRNDll.dll is compiled in 
release mode, it loads external DLLs from the 
..\Trnsys16\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\ directory 
whereas if the TRNDll.dll is compiled in debug 
mode, then it loads its external DLLs from the 
..\Trnsys16\UserLib\DebugDLLs\ directory. My 
guess as to what might be happening in your 
simulation is that the TRNDll.dll is loading an 
older version of your component from the wrong directory.
Cheers,
  David
