[TRNSYS-users] active layer convergende criteria

Fri Feb 5 00:35:08 PST 2010

Hello Mr. Martinez!

What is Your input for Your variable inlet-temperature?

If it is e.g. a temperature from the room containing the active layer You
may try to route this value over a Type93 - "Input Value Recall" (Utility).
This may prevent Your system from oscillating and every real controller as a
time-delay.
It You do so, I recommend using a timestep of 1 minute (You may test it with
lager timestep).

Do You use a controller?
If yes; what kind?

With regards,
    Matthias Kersken

Betreff: [TRNSYS-users] active layer convergende criteria

Dear all, 

I'm trying to model a active layer but get always the same error: "outside
temperature of 2(external)wall in zone 2at time 1.00 not converged". 
This happens when I set a variable input as inlet fluid temperature, but it
will work when it is set to a constant. 
Does anyone know which convergence restrictions should I consider? 

Thanks in advance.
