[TRNSYS-users] Type97 error

[David BRADLEY via TRNSYS-users]

Ahmed,

   If your project has a lot of horizontal openings then this is common 
problem. There are a couple of ways to work towards a solution.

   First, you can increase the number of iterations that CONTAM allows 
by editing the *.air file. The first value in the third line of the file 
is the allowable number of iterations. By default it is set to 30. I 
usually increase it to 100.

   Second, you may need to artificially delay the coupling between 
TRNSYS and CONTAM. I usually delay the temperatures of the airnodes 
coming from Type56 and being passed to CONTAM by using either Type93 or 
Type661. If you do this, it is very important that you also use a short 
timestep of 5 minutes or less) or else the assumption of delayed times 
becomes unrealistic.

kind regards,

  David
