[TRNSYS-users] TRNOPT Output

Hoofar,

   GenOpt is presumably adjusting the values of some constants in your 
input file. Could you simply send the values of those constants to your 
printer? Admittedly you'd have some columns in your output file whose 
values are the same for every time step of your simulation but I think 
that from one run to the next those values would reflect the value that 
GenOpt ran, not the value that you originally set.


   Essentially you'd have an equation in your project that sets a 
variable (one that GenOpt is going to modify) such as AREA = 6. You'd 
then connect AREA to your printer, which is in append mode. When GenOpt 
runs, it makes a copy of your input file, renames it, and moves it to 
its own directory 
(.\TrnsysXX\Optimization\GenOpt\Simulation\tmp-genopt-run-xxx\GenoptInputFile.dck). 
Any output files that the *.dck (input file) generates will also be in 
that folder.


   Again, I am not sure this will work but it may be worth a try.

regards,

  David
