a default file, but because I already had a type222 component in my project, it
didn’t update (if I right-clicked it and went to the setup dialog I
mentioned earlier, there was just a big blank under the “External Files”

problem. Is there a way to refresh without having to replace?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

A default name can be specified for the user by going to the
"Files" tab in the Proforma. At the left is the field where you
specify the question and at the right is the name of the parameter to which you
want to attach the response of the question. If you click on the
"more" button, you will be able to browse to locate the file that
will become the default answer. Once you specify that question and its answer,
the Studio will write the appropriate ASSIGN statement in the deck for you.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
David<br>

a new component in TRNSYS 16 – a wave energy converter whose internal
structure is similar to that of type 90, the wind turbine. Like for the wind
turbine, I want to have an external parameter file that can be specified in the
“External Files” section of the component setup dialog (ie, the one
with the tabs to define parameters, inputs, outputs, derivatives, external
files, etc). How do I get it to expect an external file? In the proforma I see
where I can specify a question for the user and a default path, but I
don’t see how to make it appear in that setup dialog and (more
importantly), have TRNSYS add it to the deck (right now I have to do it
manually). If anyone knows, I’d love to hear from you!<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
