[TRNSYS-users] Changing start time e.g. in RadiationProcessing.tpf

[Matt Duffy]

Dear Maarten, 

This is a known issue with the Type9 and Type16
connection. It has been fixed for the next version update due out in
early September. 

In the mean time, if you need to start at a time
other than hour zero, you could either supplement the data file from
hour 0 until when your data starts or use the Type99 with a
appropriately formatted data file. Please let me know if you have any
questions. 

Best regards, 

Matt Duffy

change the start time of a file including a Type 9-Type 16 radiation
processing combination (as e.g. in the Trnsys example file
RadiationProcessing.tpf).

Message : The simulation timestep is greater than the data timestep for
the radiation calculation. The simulation timestep needs to be reduced.

Type16, make sure that Type9 outputs 99 and 100 are connected to the
appropriate Type16 inputs.
