Hello,<div><br></div><div>I am running some optimizations using TRNSYS 16 and GenOpt 3.0.3. My optimizations have completed successfully and I had no troubles performing them.</div><div>However, when I try going back to the original dck file from which I made the copies for the GenOpt template and run files and input all the values obtained from the optimizations, the results I obtain are noticeably different. </div>
<div>I have run the original dck file and the run file produced by GenOpt with identical values for each variable through a comparing tool and the files are identical except for the ASSIGN statements (which simply point to different folders that contain the same files). I have also run all of the external files that the simulations call (building files, storage tank files, <a href="http://soil.in">soil.in</a> for Type 701, and schedules) and they are all identical. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I have run out of ideas to determine where the discrepancies between the two results come from. From what I understand, since the dck files are essentially identical they should produce identical results. I am beginning to think there are other factors which I am not aware of that can affect the results of simulations run through GenOpt. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Any ideas?</div><div><br></div><div>Jason</div>
