[TRNSYS-users] Initial temperature of Storage Tank

[David Bradley]

Roberto,
  It depends on the model but usually, the initial temperatures are set 
in the Derivatives tab of the proforma, one temperature for each node. 
Also make sure that you correctly fill in the field on the Derivatives 
tab that usually asks about how many nodes there are in the tank.
Best,
 David
