[TRNSYS-users] Strange error when using the equation proforma

[Matt Duffy]

Dear Chun Kwong LEE,

This is very strange. I wonder if it is similar to what David Bradley
wrote to the group last week about special characters? What TRNSYS version
are you using?

Best regards,

Matt Duffy

Dear Trnsys users.

When I try to simulate a HVAC system, I got the following error message
copied
from the .lst file related to an equation proforma:


* EQUATIONS "ChWSH_P"


  EQUATIONS  12
     M_ChWS_PO_max = 85323
     M_ChWS_PSA_max = 104280
     S_SAV_PO1 = gt([71,1],0.1)*gt([86,1],0.01)*Max(Min([86,1],1.0),0.3)
     S_SAV_PSA1 = gt([71,5],0.01)*gt([110,1],0.01)*Max(Min([110,1],1.0),0.3)
     tMP = M_ChWS_PO_max*S_SAV_PO1+M_ChWS_PSA_max*S_SAV_PSA1
     xPO = gt(tMP,0.01)*M_ChWS_PO_max*S_SAV_PO1/Max(tMP,0.01)
     xPSA = 1-xPO
     M_ChWS_PO =
gt(N_ahu_PO,0.1)*Min([43,2]*N_chwsp_P*S_SAV_PO1,M_ChWS_PO_max)/Max(N_ahu_PO,0.01)
     M_ChWS_PSA =
gt(N_ahu_PSA1,0.1)*Min([43,2]*N_chwsp_P*S_SAV_PSA1,M_ChWS_PSA_max)/Max(N_ahu_PSA1,0.01)

Does anyone konw what's going wrong?  Another strange matter is that when I
input the formula for M_ChWS_PO, I use N_ahu_PO1 (see attached screenshot).
However, in the input and listing files, it becomes N_ahu_PO.  How can I
rectify
the problem?  Thank you!
