[TRNSYS-users] Fwd: Error using more than one type

[David Bradley]

Marcos,
  The easiest way to solve the problem is to reread the parameters and 
set their values to your local variables at every iteration. That 
solution wastes computation time so a better solution is that you check 
IUNIT against the value of INFO(1). If those two values are different 
then you know you need to reread the parameter list. If they are the 
same, you don't. Take a look at Type6.for. There is a section that takes 
care of this problem:

IF(INFO(1).NE.IUNIT) THEN
   !reset the unit number
   IUNIT  = INFO(1)
   ITYPE  = INFO(2)
   !read the parameter values
   QMAX   = PAR(1)
   CP     = PAR(2)
   UA     = PAR(3)
   HTREFF = PAR(4)
ENDIF

of course the problem may be more subtle. If there are local variables 
that are calculated when you read parameters, those also have to be 
recalculated if the unit number changes.
Best,
  David
