[TRNSYS-users] Problem occurs when creating TRNED distributions

[coolbilly1999 at gmail.com]

Hi Jeff and David,

Thanks for the advice. But the variable name is from the components’ parameter, I don’t think I can change it. Unfortunately, I still can't locate the fatal error since there is no equation named OF. And I found it acts very weird, because sometime it can run the calculation in TRNED and no error comes up, and sometime this error comes up, especially after I linked the required data files under the same directory.It's kinda random, I have no clue how to solve this problem. So I turn to you for more helps. Please check the attached .trd file and let me know if you need more data file. Thanks very much.

Best regards,
Billy

Billy,

You used an illegal variable name.  Equation names cannot start with CON (nor EQU, SIM, etc.).  The TRNSYS processor looks at the first three letters of any line for key words and CON is the the beginning of CONstants.  So your variable named CONTROL is thereby illegal.  

On another note, always look for the first error in the list file and not the last error when debugging...

Jeff

      Hi TRNSYS users,

      I met a problem when I tried to create a demo using TRNED. I cannot create the distributable and the error shown as below:

      *** Fatal Error at time   :         0.000000
          Generated by Unit     : Not applicable or not available
          Generated by Type     : Not applicable or not available
          TRNSYS Message     13 : The TRNSYS Processor has reported an error while trying to process EQUATIONS. The reported error was that an equal sign (=) did not follow the variable name. One common cause of this error is to have fewer equations that that specified in the EQUATIONS card. Please check the input file and re-run the simulation
          Reported information  : OF

      I tried to locate the error but failed. I wonder if anyone has such problem before and please kindly give me some advice. Please check the attached LST file and let me know if more detailed information is need.

      Thanks very much in advance.

      Regards,

      Billy
