[TRNSYS-users] Modification in a library component and output files

Dear, Cramer Silkworth (Matt Duffy and TRNSYS users).
 
Your important advises were very helpful to me. Thanks again. 
 
I still have some questions.
 
I am trying to modify a component that is already put (or embedded) into my project in the simulation studio. The output parameters of the component are not able to change. If somebody wants to make some changes, then it has to make changes to the library component, and put it again to the simulation studio. Is that correct?
 
I create some new “outputs” to a library component, defining the name, the role, the dimension and the unit. How can I be sure that the program really “understands” what is about? For example, the new parameters created by me are total and beam solar radiation in 4 elevations. As a result I get error messages. On the other hand, if I copy the same component from another project (that solar radiation in 4 elevations are already set), I don’t get error messages, but I cannot change some options (for example the unit of solar radiation that is an output). Have you got any idea about solving this problem?
 
There is an additional question about simulation. Using type 65a, gives me a result file in *.plt form. When I read the results using the software named “WordPad” I get the correct results. When I transform the same file in order to be able to read it with excel, the numbers seems to change. For example a temperature that is +2.0008191901532996E+01, is viewed through excel as 2,00E+17!!!! Is there I can do for that. Maybe using another software?
 
Best regards,
