Dear Mr. Duffy,

      Thanks for your reply!

To 1): Do you have some advices for these questions? How could I run this
Trnsys 15's *.tpf program by Trnsys 17? Or other way to run it? Since it's
very important for me.

To 2): You can  open the *.bui ? Really? But once I open its *.bui file, it
showed the ERROR. Please see the Attached.
Why I can't open this *.bui file( the 3rd and 4th attached)? You can?

Many thanks!

Br.

wang

Dear Wang,

1. The blue lines are indeed the undefined connections. The reasons for this
is that sometimes as components age through different versions, the inputs
of the components are changed or modified.

2. I was able to open the *.bui (NOT the *.bld) without any problems.

Best regards,

Matt Duffy

Dear Mr. Bradley,

               Many thanks! You're right. But when I open the TRNSYS 15's
*.tpf file using TRNSYS 17 studio, so many former informations lost, the
links' color became BLUE, please see the ATTACHED.

              What's more, the TRNBUILD cann't open the former TRNSYS 15's
*.bui file directly. It said, "cannot open BUI-File:(c:\trnsys
15\usr\Iwobay.bld)". Please see the 2nd ATTACHED. Please give me some
advices to open them completely and keep all the former contents in detail
using the TRNSYS 15/prebid/iisibat! I'm very eager to use those former
programs.

             My support said to me, try to adapt the syntax in the .dec file
to TRNSYS 17, but I tried, it still goes blank. Please see the 3rd ATTACHED.
How to adapt the syntax in the .dec file to TRNSYS 17?

        Thanks a lot!

        Br.

wang
