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

[David Bradley]

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
