<P><FONT size=2>Hi all,<BR><BR>I'm new to the mail list and would like to find
out if there is anyone who will be kind enough to help me with modeling using
TRNSYS. I'm currently doing a DCS modeling with thermal energy storage. As
part of the analysis, I am trying to create a simple model of a storage tank
type531 and an online plotter type65d. Purpose of this model is to indicate
and observe the thermal conduction between the nodes.<BR><BR>I've done the
following:<BR>1. Set the no. of tank nodes = 8, and inlet temperature of port=
100 Degree Celsius.<BR>2. Link tank nodal temp 1-8 to plotter left axis
variable 1-8.<BR>3. Temperature at outlet to left axis variable 9.<BR>4.
Average tank temperature to left axis variable 10.<BR><BR>Upon running the
simulation, i encounter an error msg:<BR>TRNSYS Message 103: The TRNSYS type
checking routine has found an inconsistency in the specified component between
the input file and the information expected by the Type.<BR>Reported
information: An illegal PARAMETER value has been reported by the model. The
model has reported that Parameter 31 is the problem - but this may not be the
case. Please check the component configuration.<BR><BR>Can someone help me
with this? Thank you.<BR><BR>Zhiguan,<BR>School Of Mechanical & Aerospace
