Dear David,<div><br></div><div>I'll give you a couple more details, so perhaps you can tell me what can I do to get rid of this problem.</div><div><br></div><div>1) Originally it was the type 396 (parabolic trough component, in the STEc library). Then, I changed the order of the components and now I get the same problem but in a different component (storage tank, type 60)</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) This only happens when I add more equations in a calculator. If I simplify the calculations, then I don't get the error, but if I add a couple more of very simple equations I get this error.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It's 100% related with the equations I put in the calculator, but I cannot understand why. Any idea? One more thing, I have 6 calculators operating in the systems, and lots of componentes as well, can it be related with too many components for just one simulation?</div>

The cause of that problem is an error in one of the components in the
system (not in the equation calculators). Essentially, each Type in the
simulation reserves space for itself in a global array of output
variables. TRNSYS checks to make sure that none of the components
reserve themselves 10 spaces but then write into the 11th space (as an
example). One of the components in your simulation is writing outside
its allowed space. The *.lst and *.log files should indicate which Type
is to blame. If it is one of the standard Types, I can fix it. If it is
one of the STEC components, please let me know that as well but also
bring it to the attention of the STEC library developers.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
David<br>

<div>I'm modelling a solar power plant, using several components from
the STEC library, including the Parabolic Trough field model (396).
I've been using several calculators to include some heat losses that
were not included in some components.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So far, I've been using 5 different calculators in my model, and
with the last calculation I got the following error:</div>
<div>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div>TRNSYS Message 427 : An OUTPUT from the specified component
model has been written to the global OUT array in a location beyond the
allocated number of outputs from this model. Please check the component
carefully to insure that INFO(6) is set correctly. The simulation has
been aborted to avoid problems caused by over-writing the outputs from
other component models</div>
<div>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This error is launched by the Parabolic Trough model, and I
don't understand what really means and what could I do to repair it.
The calculations are really simple, and I don't see how could it be
any problem with them. Does anybody knows what causes this problem? </div>
<div><br>
