[TRNSYS-users] ERROR: simulation times

[David Bradley]

TRNSYS uses the units of hours of the year for simulating. When you 
change the units of the start and stop time in the control cards, Studio 
converts the numbers that you choose back to hours of the year before 
writing the input file. There are sometimes some rounding errors when it 
does so. The error you got is probably telling you that the time step is 
not an integer multiple of the start time. To be safe, I do not 
recommend changing those units.
Regards,
David
