[TRNSYS-users] Trigeneration simulation: printing or convergence problem ?

[David BRADLEY]

Wim,
asterisks in the output file are often an indication that the format 
statement for what was being printed was not correct. I am not sure what 
component you are using for your output device but if it is either 
Type25 or Type46 make sure that you are using an "unformatted" mode.
Regards,
David
