[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS control cards

[Jeff Thornton]

Makram, 

You did a nice job with the include file, but you didn't use the names
that you defined there as the names for the simulation start time, stop
time and timestep in the control cards of your project. Change the units
of those three cards to string (or variable name) and specify TStart,
TStop and Tstep. See attached; a version 18 screen capture, v17 will
look differently but you get the idea.
