[TRNSYS-users] CONTAM Type 97 .air file reading error with simple AHS

[Patrick Charles]

 Hello,
 
Did anyone experienced the problem reding the Contam 2.4b generated .air file. I am using TRNsys 16.01.0003 and after linking everything and launching the simulation give me an error right away. In the result file the error message is :
"the multizone airflow model was unable to resolve the list of IMPUTS. There should either be (4+nZones) inputs or there should be (4+nZones+ nPaths)inputs." 
 
THe problem seems to stems from the use of simple AHS (Air Handling Systems) in Contam. (The same model with no AHS and just other type of paths works fine.
 
Any ideas how to fix this? Could it be a bug that the format of the contam file does not correspond to the format expected by type 97?
 
below is the input section of the .air file
 
Thanks
Best regards
