[TRNSYS-users] Issue regarding Type24 (integrator) component

[Michel Tamarzians]

Dear jeff,

Thanks for the quick reply.
I mean indeed the sourcing fortran code of the component. Standard it is set
to iteration mode 4 so that it is called after all the other components
have converged but before the printers. But I was wondering why it is not
giving the same final answer if you change the source fortran code to
iteration mode 1, so that the component is called every time step.
Shouldn't the final output of the component be the same regarding the
iteration mode for type24?

Thanks again!

Kind regards,
Michel
