[TRNSYS-users] Problem with Type 55: Periodic Integrator - reset time

Eric,
I think your parameter set has some overlapping intervals.
- parameter 5 determines when the input resets to zero (in your case, it
is resetting daily at midnight)
- parameter 2 determines when in that 24 hour period the integrator
starts paying attention (by setting it to 1, it is ignoring the fist
hour in the 24 hour period)
- parameter 3 determines how long the input should be evaluated (by
setting it to 24 and starting at 1, you're progressively evaluating one
hour longer than your reset time each day of the simulation (1+24 = 25...)
try setting parameter 2 to 0 and see if that cures the problem. I'm not
sure why it is behaving properly when you start a new project.
Best,
David
