Yassine,

  When you launch SketchUp, are you asked to select your template? If 
you are, you should find it at:

C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 8\SketchUp\Plugins\Trnsys3d\templates

or thereabouts...it may be slightly different depending on which version 
of Windows you are using. The file you are looking for is:

NewFileTemplate_Trnsys17.idf

kind regards,

  David
