[TRNSYS-users] Trnsed parameters

[Kent Beason]

I've created a TRNSED distributable and have run into a problem
regarding Type 14 Night Setback.  I kept parameters 3, 5, 7, and 9
unlocked so as to include them in the TRNSED distributable, named
"ENDOFNIG, ENDOFNI1, BEGINOFN, BEGINOF1" in the .trd file, resp.
However, when I try to run the TRNSED file, the simulation stops from
"illegal variable name" and refers to these parameter names.  Refer to
the attached in which the names are set equal to the value as would be
input by the user, in the top section below "***Model Night Setback
(Type 14, Unit 22)".  In the second section under "Unit 22 Type 14 Night
Setback", you can see these variable names again with the component
parameter names to the right.  The simulation proceeds without problems
only when I manually type over these variable names with the integer
value I want them to be (in the .trd file itself).  TRNSED-User-defined
variables are done this way for other components in the same file but
there only seems to be a problem with this particular Type 14.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
