[TRNSYS-users] TRNSED file creation - falty source code generated

[lucas.lira at scottish-southern.co.uk]

Dear All,

I'm currently working in the creation of some TRNSED files from some 
energy systems modelled by me. After creating the trd file and trying to 
run the simulation through TRNSEDIT, some systems would do it smoothly, 
some would present some warnings.  An example is shown below:

*** Fatal Error at time   :         0.000000
    Generated by Unit     : Not applicable or not available
    Generated by Type     : Not applicable or not available
    TRNSYS Message     13 : The TRNSYS Processor has reported an error 
while trying to process EQUATIONS. The reported error was that an equal 
sign (=) did not follow the variable name. One common cause of this error 
is to have fewer equations that that specified in the EQUATIONS card. 
Please check the input file and re-run the simulation
    Reported information  : OF

For this specific case I identified that when the trd file was created, 
the list file was being written as bellow:

*
* Model "Type661" (Type 661)
* 
*
*|*
*|* *** Model Type661 (Type 661, Unit 27)

*$UNIT_NAME Type661
*$MODEL .\Controllers Library (TESS)\Delayed Inputs\Type661.tmf
*$POSITION 553 186
*$LAYER Main # 

I put the bit that is causing problem in bold. To solve the issue i just 
had to add "*|" before that line and every thing would work ok. 
Has anyone experienced any similar problem of the trd file being generated 
with incomplete lines? (like missing the *|) Is there any solution to it 
other than manually finding the issue and fixing?

Kind Regards

Lucas Lira
