[TRNSYS-users] Defining a Global Variable in User Created Components

[David BRADLEY]

Aaron,
  You can define an equation in your simulation studio:

Cp = 4.19

Then change the "units" of all your specific heat parameters from 
"kJ/kg.K" to "string" and enter the variable name (Cp) in place of a 
numerical value.
Best,
  David
