[TRNSYS-users] if-elseif statement in TRNSYS

[Miroslava Kavgic]

Hi Raksit,

yes, by using an equation editor in the simulation studio. IF-THEN-ELSE can
be described using GT (greater than), LT (less than), EQ (equal to), OR,
and NOT.

*As Mr. Michaël Kummert wrote:*
*'For example, let's assume you would like to use the following
"if-then-else"
statement:

if (Z>0) then
X=Y1
else
X=Y2
endif
The following equation will do the same:

X=GT(Z,0)*Y1+(1-GT(Z,0))*Y2

Please refer to the TRNSYS manual (p 2-8) for a description of available
functions.
Please also note that if-then-else tests can lead to oscillations due to the
iterative nature of TRNSYS. E.g. you could implement a controller similar to
Type 2 with equations. However, you have no way to tell TRNSYS to stop
changing a variable if the number of iterations is beyond a certain value
(which Type 2 does with the NSTICK parameter).'*

Regards,

Miroslava
