[TRNSYS-users] Bug found when using variable values as strings in TRNSYS 16.1

Hi,
I'm opening again an old TRNSYS 16 .tpf file with TRNSYS17 Studio, minor modifications and saving it with TRNSYS17 STudio, inserting constants and equations variables in order to use it as String "inputs" at connecting phase, saving again :
==>when I write the deck file and open it , it's still failing to insert the correct variable name in the deck (still as initial values)...
I was used to work a lot with named variables in previous TRNSYS 14.2 trd/dck and I think it should be still available in the present versions.
I'm using 17.00.018, is there already patch version available somewhere ?
Thanks,
David

Well, it is because of such "bugs" that we make new versions, like this thing called Trnsys 17! :-)
Trnsys 17 now has 3 equation processors to choose from, so you can define the behavior you want. (The 'old' behavior can be useful, to speed up the simulation in cases where the update is not needed at every time step).
And that's just one of the many great benefits you get by updating!

Dear TRNSYS developers,
Maybe this is not new to you, but I may have found a serious bug in TRNSYS 16.1 (16.01.0003).
It is not possible to use a variable value from an equation as an input without connecting the equation and the component. I.e. declaring an input as "string" and entering the variables name does not work!
To be more precise: The component will only take the value the variable has at the first timestep of the simulation.
Best regards,
Jochen

> Hi All,

> I have performance data for a chiller from the manufacturer, with thermal capacity and electrical power demand for varying part load fractions, for a series of condenser water temps (60-85F, in 5F increments). Seems like I need type 42, but other than the general description in the documentation, I've no idea how to start using it. Is there a more detailed manual and/or example file?
