[TRNSYS-users] Silly error with Calculator

[David Bradley]

Carlos,
 The cause of that problem is an error in one of the components in the 
system (not in the equation calculators). Essentially, each Type in the 
simulation reserves space for itself in a global array of output 
variables. TRNSYS checks to make sure that none of the components 
reserve themselves 10 spaces but then write into the 11th space (as an 
example). One of the components in your simulation is writing outside 
its allowed space. The *.lst and *.log files should indicate which Type 
is to blame. If it is one of the standard Types, I can fix it. If it is 
one of the STEC components, please let me know that as well but also 
bring it to the attention of the STEC library developers.
Kind regards,
 David
