[TRNSYS-users] Help Needed with TRNSYS modeling

[#ONG ZHIGUAN#]

Hi all, 

I'm new to the mail list and would like to find out if there is anyone who will be kind enough to help me with modeling using TRNSYS. I'm currently doing a DCS modeling with thermal energy storage. As part of the analysis, I am trying to create a simple model of a storage tank type531 and an online plotter type65d. Purpose of this model is to indicate and observe the thermal conduction between the nodes.

I've done the following:
1. Set the no. of tank nodes = 8, and inlet temperature of port= 100 Degree Celsius.
2. Link tank nodal temp 1-8 to plotter left axis variable 1-8.
3. Temperature at outlet to left axis variable 9.
4. Average tank temperature to left axis variable 10.

Upon running the simulation, i encounter an error msg: 
TRNSYS Message 103: The TRNSYS type checking routine has found an inconsistency in the specified component between the input file and the information expected by the Type.
Reported information: An illegal PARAMETER value has been reported by the model. The model has reported that Parameter 31 is the problem - but this may not be the case. Please check the component configuration.

Can someone help me with this? Thank you.
