[TRNSYS-users] Exact same control signal for different Type 11f gives diferent results.

[Jeff Thornton via TRNSYS-users]

Javier, 

That sounds suspiciously like a convergence problem. Have you checked
the list file to see if you are running into convergence issues? Have
you tried to TRACE the models in question to see what's happening on an
iteration by iteration basis? If it's convergence problems then the
questions become: are you using a small timestep? Are you using a
controller with hysteresis? etc.

And what it's worse, something happens with the Heat Pumps: I studied the control signals, and they are activated at the same time, but the heat pump's circuit redirects the flow when it isn't supposed to happen and also the Heat Pump that by mistakes recieves flow doesn't heat the water flow. This is what bothers me the most because I set the Heating control signal to a constant 1, so everytime the HP recieves flow it heats.
