Mariana,
   I am having a little trouble understanding whether you are trying to 
force Type56 to iterate within a time step or whether you are trying to 
prevent Type56 from iterating within a time step. Either way, it is a 
very complicated thing to do; Type56 not only has its own internal 
iterative solver but its inputs and outputs feed into the iterative 
solver within the TRNSYS kernel. I suspect that not only would you have 
to change the Type56 code but you would also have to change the kernel 
code as well.

  If you are running into convergence problems with a model, it is best 
to try and solve those by adjusting time steps and by looking carefully 
at your system and controls. There are some cases in which you might 
need to insert a time delay into a model. There are two models that 
allow you do hold on to an output for one or more time steps before 
releasing it. This will have the effect of preventing some iteration 
because an output change in one model will not be noticed by the next 
model until the following time step. Be very careful in implementing 
these components because while they are convenient and an easy way to 
"improve" convergence, most often it is best to solve non-convergence 
problems by looking carefully at time steps and controls and not by 
adding arbitrary delays.
Best,
  David
