[TRNSYS-users] Regarding using TRNLIB - Libraries of User-Written Components for TRNSYS in TRNSYS 17.

[David BRADLEY]

Ashmin,

   The Types that are available in TRNLib are all user-donated. As such 
they are in various states depending on when they were donated by their 
authors. I had a look at both the Types you mentioned and while you will 
need to compile the code and turn it into a DLL, both are written in 
such a way that they should be compatible with Trnsys17. You'll need to 
have access to a fortran compiler such as Intel's Visual Fortran in 
order to create the DLLs. If you do have access to that particular 
compiler then a compiler project is already set up for you in the 
.\Trnsys71\Compilers\ directory. If by some chance you have access to 
Trnsys18 then you could use the TypeStudio to compile the code and would 
not have to have access to an external fortran compiler.

   You'll also need to make proformas so that the components can be used 
in the Simulation Studio. Some of the components in TRNLib have those 
available but not Types206 or 214

   As a side note, the equations in Type206 are simple enough that I 
think you could recode it as a block of equations in your Simulation 
Studio project. Type214 is more complicated and probably needs to stay a 
Type.

kind regards

  David
