[TRNSYS-users] Create a new type

[David BRADLEY]

Tiziano,
   I am not entirely sure that I understand your question. Fortran 90 is 
a language while Compaq Visual Fortran is a compiler. Most Types in 
Trnsys16 were written Fortran77 language conventions but some where 
written using Fortran90 conventions; the two language conventions should 
be able to interact with each other without problems.

   Whichever set of language conventions you choose, you need some kind 
of compiler that can create a DLL containing the source code for your 
Type. Some users have succeeded in using the free G95 compiler to make 
user Types. There is a tutorial available at: 
http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/downloads/tutorials_and_examples/tutex17.htm. 
While the tutorial is written based on Trnsys17, most of it applies to 
Trnsys16 as well.

Kind regards,
  David
