[TRNSYS-users] pb while creating a type

[Jeff Thornton]

Try one thing before you do more debugging; tighten up your simulation tolerances or make sure your model is set such that it is called at least once every time step.  Ive seen this before and it's usually due to the small change in the input not triggering the type to be put on the "call" list.  You can also TRACE the model to see if it's being called every time.
