[TRNSYS-users] Trnsed Distributable

Mon Nov 23 06:18:20 PST 2009

David, 

I've tried your suggestion below with no success.  I then tried 9953,
9954, and 9955 as well, with no success.  I've attached this portion of
the .trd file.  As you can see, I've commented out some of the lines.

A curious note: The .trd file runs in Trnedit in the original directory
just fine.  I tried running the same file (in Trnedit this time, not
stand-alone!) after copying it over to the Distributable directory, and
the same error described below happens.  Below, "I don't get any errors
when I run the simulation within Trnedit", was in context of running the
file in Trnedit in the original directory, not the Distributable
directory as I've just done.

This deepens the intrigue, but suggests that I've overlooked something
more fundamental in the Distributable-creation process.  I've copied all
files I believe and made all reference paths relative to the
Distributable directory.  Let me know if there is anything else that
comes to mind which I should do to get this Distributable working.

Thanks for your (and others'!) help.

Kent,
 Try setting the logical unit parameters referenced by Type96 (and the
logical units in the corresponding ASSIGN statements) to some other
numbers (953, 954, 955 for example). There are some spots in the Trnsys
kernel where a logical unit number is internally assigned to a temporary
file that needs to be opened up. The kernel tries to pick a logical unit
that isn't otherwise needed but it doesn't always succeed. 
Best,
 David

I've created a Distributable file and copied all files that I need into
the same directory.  I am getting a fatal error when running the
Distributable by itself.  I don't get any errors when I run the
simulation within Trnedit.  The error reads as follows:

*** Fatal Error at time   :         0.000000

    Generated by Unit     :    33

    Generated by Type     :    96

    TRNSYS Message     71 : An ASSIGNED logical unit number is already
in use, either by the TRNSYS kernal or by a Type

    Reported information  : Not available

Attached is the section within the .trd file for Type 96 as used in my
simulation.  I've scoured it without finding obvious problems.  I
haven't found the logical unit numbers duplicated elsewhere in the list
file either.

Any deeper insights on what may be the problem, or other things to
check, would be most appreciated.
