[TRNSYS-users] Simulation Summary

[Böttner, Jan]

Hi,

I am using a simulation summary with Energy Balance (Type 28a).
I am wondering, whether it can output a value without doing any operation on it.
The summary works fine for all values that need to be integrated, which are all [kJ/h].
What I need as an output is a count of how often my boiler was started. Therefore I just count the number of times in the code and give it out to an output file.
In the last line of my output file I have the cumulated count, e.g 132. To read out that value I have to open the file and copy it. As I am doing parametric runs and my timestep is 1 min, so 500.000+ lines per file, it takes a lot of time to open all the files and copy the last line of every file to an overview. I already automated it with Excel VBA but it's still a little annoying.

So what I was wondering is, if I could just add that value to my simulation summary file, which is a lot smaller in size and which I have to open anyway and just copy the value for the boiler count.
As the polish notation is new and kind of cryptic to me, I more or less tried every connection that made sense to me, but I couldn't figure it out. Same with the Integrator which I thought might work.

Best regards,
Jan
