[TRNSYS-users] TMY3 files in Demo Version

[Jing Hong]

Hi David,

I met the same problem as Brad. I have the Milwaukee CSV file attached as
well. Also, the Liquid Precipitation of Madison TMY3 file in TRNSYS
document shows some errors. I guessed it might be the old TMY3 version
before 2015?

Thanks,
Jing
