Dear Alexis,<br><br>Could you please send me your *.lst file and/or *.log file from the directory?<br><br>C:\Program Files\Trnsys16_1\Optimization\Example<br><br>My intution thinks that the TRNOPT component is referencing the older external DLL (in the ".\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs" and ".\UserLib\DebugDLLs" directory). You can simply remove those older DLL's and try to run the Example.tpf again.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Matt Duffy<br>
