[TRNSYS-users] Type16 outputs + Type536 inputs

[José María Roca]

Hi colleagues, 

I was wondering why does the type16 doesn't have the surface azimuth as output…

On the type536 a azimuth is needed as input. In the documentation it doesn’t specify if it’s of the axis (as in type16 for tracking surfaces) or the aperture surface. For example por a parabolic through with N-S axis the surface aperture azimuth would be facing east (90º) before noon and facing west (270º) after noon. But this input must be given to the type from an equation since the type16 does’t have the surface azimuth as output. Any work around different than this one?

Best,
