[TRNSYS-users] negative sign in minimum result of cost function trnopt

[Jeff Thornton]

Michel, 

I'm not sure we understand your question. 2e-14 and -2e-14 differ by
only 0.0000000000004 if I counted my zeroes correctly. And an error with
a magnitude of e-14 is not a great choice for an error function. That
falls well within precision of the variables...
