[TRNSYS-users] Heating load

[David Bradley]

Salim,
  I think this will just result in convergence problems. When you define 
an automatic heating type in TRNBuild, you are predefining the 
temperature of the zone and you are asking Type56 to tell you how much 
heat was necessary in order to get there. If you give Type56 a heating 
rate from some external system, you are asking Type56 to calculate the 
resulting zone temperature. You can do one or the other but you can't 
really do both at the same time. I would recommend that you use Type108 
as a thermostat watching your zone temperature and turning on and off 
your external heating system to maintain the set point.
Best,
  David
