Aaron -<br /><br />Actually that is not true. The proforma does not access the dll to cycle the number of inputs/outputs based on the value of a parameter. <br /><br />From the error message that you sent in your original message I call tell you that TRNSYS is not finding Type203 exported from the dll. You will need to ask the person that supplied you with the dll to check the code for correct usage of the DLLexport command.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Tim<br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />---------------------------------- <br />Timothy McDowell <br />Executive Vice President <br />Thermal Energy System Specialists, LLC <br />22 N.

I am working on a project with someone working outside of our school. He told me he has used this type in his simulations. I have not compiled this type on my machine. Our group needs to purchase "Visual Numerics IMSL* Fortran Library" to be able to compile his codes. The component is functional in the TRNSYS Studio. For example, one of the parameters is "number of nodes", when you change this value, the number of inputs/outputs change.!
For this to happen the dll must be actively used by TRNSYS, because as I understand it, the proforma does not execute any kind of code.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">-Aaron</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </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""> Timothy McDowell [mailto:mcdowell@tess-inc.com] <br /><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, July 12, 2011 4:37 PM<br /><b>To:</b> Aaron J.
