[TRNSYS-users] Parameter like an input

[David Bradley]

Manuel,
  The only way is to change the source code and move the parameter to an 
input, then recompiling the Type. The TRNSYS engine reads parameters 
from the input file at the beginning of the simulation and stores them 
internally. They are never reread so while you can make a parameter 
value that is the result of a time dependent equation, only the initial 
result of that equation at the very start of the simulation will be used 
for the parameter value.
Best,
 David
