[TRNSYS-users] Beam radiation warnings with type 56

[David BRADLEY]

Martin,
   Carefully check the "angle of incidence," "beam'" and "total" 
radiation connections between your weather component (probably Type15) 
and the building (Type56). I would imagine that one of them is 
incorrect. Make sure that the surfaces that you have defined in the 
weather processor correspond correctly to the orientations that you have 
defined for your building in TRNBuild. Warnings are there to help you 
correct problems in your input file. While it is possible to increase 
the number of them that are allowed before the simulation terminates in 
error, every effort should be made to understand and correct the 
warnings first.
Best,
  David
