[TRNSYS-users] Problem with the external file

[Jeff Thornton]

Alexander,

If the times written in the external file don’t fall between the simulation start and stop times then there’s no way that I can think of that that external file was written by that simulation.  And I wrote Type 46 so I know how it works fairly well.  I would delete the existing file and retry.

I change the period in the setting (Simulation start and stop time), the Simulation runs with the changed settings but the external file does not change the period of the Simulation. What can I do?

I had a period in 168 hr and I changed to 30 hr in the settings, the Simulation runs normally (with 30 hr) but the external file does not change the period. What can I do? I hope someone can help me.
