[TRNSYS-users] Excel iteration vs TRNSYS iteration

[David BRADLEY]

Karol,

  As far as I am aware TRNSYS has no knowledge of that is going on in 
Excel. Trnsys calls Excel, waits for Excel to return something and then 
proceeds on with calling the next component. If the system of Trnsys 
components did not converge then Trnsys iterates again and calls Excel 
again. I think that means that it an onion type of coupling.

kind regards,

  David
