For example: Component A outputs an array of temperatures to the input of component B, that output from A is a function of the output of heat transfer rates of component B . Component A uses this heat transfer array to solve for an array of thermal resistances which produce the output A array of temperatures. So would using a common block allow for the TRNSYS solver to essentially guess the array of resistances until the outputs no longer change from each iteration above the acceptable tolerance?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Jeff Thornton [mailto:thornton@tess-inc.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, June 02, 2011 1:09 PM<br><b>To:</b> Aaron J.

If an output has an array of 5,000 values that needs to connect to an input of these 5,000 values is there a quick way of connecting all of the "nodes" or do you need to manually connect each node in the array? If anyone has any examples of connecting two components that pass large arrays between components it would be very helpful.
