Hi,<br><br>Thank you very much for Lee's information.<br><br>I have contacted our TRNSYS distributor as well as the contact person of the non-standard Type TRNSYS-SBM.<br><br>We currently get the information that TRNSYS-SBM is only available for TRNSYS 15. And if we want to upgrade it to TRNSYS 17, it seems that we need to do some Fortron programming work.<br><br>Is there anybody has the experience to use TRNSYS-SBM in TRNSYS 17? Is it very difficult to upgrade TRNYSYS-SBM so that it can be compatible with TRNSYS 17? <br><br>From some references, we also know that sometimes it might be very time-consuming to simulate with TRNSYS-SBM. Is there anybody has the experience of simulating a large scale ground source heat pump system with TRNSYS-SBM? How slow it might be (I know it depends, but just want to know some examples)?<br><br>As the price for TRNSYS-SBM is not very cheap (and there is no demo version for that type), I just want to make sure it CAN be effectively used in TR!
