[TRNSYS-users] Question about take an output in time "t" as input in "t+1"

Camilo,
 The simulation does not have enough thermal capacitance to solve - you 
need to add a pipe (and perhaps a pump as well) so that the liquid 
contained in your loop has enough mass that its temperature changes over 
some time instead of instantaneously. Make sure that the pipe is big 
enough to hold at least one timestep of fluid at your chosen flow rate. 
I would also recommend making your tolerances smaller (they should be no 
larger than 0.0001 instead of the default, which is 0.001) and running 
with a smaller time step (I usually use 1 or sometimes  minutes)
Kind regards,
 David
