<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to run the simulation with a time step
of less than 1 hr. I am getting an Range check error from trnsys. On further
investigation I found that the error was coming from Type 56.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The simulation runs fine with a time step of 1 hr
with no errors at all. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Further the time at which the error occurred
followed a pattern.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Time step 1 min - Error in the
beginning</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Time step 3 min - Error at *.05
Hr</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Time step 6 min - Error at *.1 Hr</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Time step 9 min - Error in the

<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Time step 12 min - Error at *.2

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Time step 15 min - Error at *.25

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where * is any hour depending on the startime of
the simulation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>e.g When the start time was 0 min, read * as
23.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also when the error occurred in the beginning(time
step 0,9 min) the listing file had and error </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>" The wall timebase must be an integer multiple of
the simulation timestep'</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I set the timebase to 1 in the BUIEdit's Output
window as is recommended in the manual.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On debugging from type56 I found
that one source of error was due to and array related to the building schedules
getting out of bound. Particularly it was from the function </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Line 4203 of Open_TYPE56.for</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For the time step of 1 min and 9 min the error
occurred at the line</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have no clue about why this is
happening, can anyone please help me out with this.</FONT></DIV>
