[TRNSYS-users] simulation of an air to soil exchanger

[David BRADLEY]

Aziz,
   The first time I used Type460, I had a really hard time setting up 
the data file. I'll send you an example file in a separate email but 
what I did and what I would recommend is that you enter the data file 
that is shown in the documentation for Type460 and go carefully through 
the explanations of all the data elements in the file (also explained in 
the document). the structure of the data file is that you first set up 
all of the nodes and node sizes. Next, you describe the geometry of the 
earth/air energy exchanger using 1's and 0's. Lastly, you enter the 
physical data.

   While the parameter file must be generated by hand, the control file 
is generated by the component when you run a simulation and will tell 
you about any errors that you made in setting up the parameter file.

   I am not sure what Type61 is in this case. If it is the standard 
component that calls an external DLL then no, you do not need it. Simply 
place the Type460.dll file in your ..\Trnsys17\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\ 
directory. (or  ..\Trnsys16\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\).
Regards,
  David
