[TRNSYS-users] Trnsed and parameters cycle

[Thibaut VITTE]

Thanks for the answer, Matt.

I see what you explain, but I don't see if it can apply to my problem. 
For instance, if I continue with the type 16 example. My question is : 
If the end-user wants to implement a variable number of surfaces, how to 
implement that in a "user friendly" way.

The way I see now is to use a default type 16 with a given numer of 
surfaces, let's say ten. But if I don't want to see all inputs in the 
GUI, I need to use check boxes that make appear inputs for the "checked" 
surface. Is there a way to make it work the same way  cycles work in 
Trnsys, with a numer defining the right inputs avalaible?

Best regards

Thibaut
