But the variable name is from the components’ parameter, I don’t think I can change it. Unfortunately, I still can't locate the fatal error since there is no equation named OF. And I found it acts very weird, because sometime it can run the calculation in TRNED and no error comes up, and sometime this error comes up, especially after I linked the required data files under the same directory.It's kinda random, I have no clue how to solve this problem. So I turn to you for more helps. Please check the attached .trd file and let me know if you need !

Equation names cannot start with CON (nor EQU, SIM, etc.). The TRNSYS processor looks at the first three letters of any line for key words and CON is the the beginning of CONstants. So your variable named CONTROL is thereby illegal. <br /><br />On another note, always look for the first error in the list file and not the last error when debugging...<br /><br />Jeff<br /><br /><br />Jeff Thornton <br />President - TESS, LLC <br /><br />22 North Carroll Street - Suite 370<br />Madison WI 53703 USA <br /><br />Phone: 608-274-2577 <br />Fax: 608-278-1475 <br />E-mail: thornton@tess-inc.com <br />Web: www.tess-inc.com<br /><br /><br /><br /> <div style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://webmail.fuse!
