      There is nothing wrong with the data file; I would imagine that
    the fault lies in the parameters of Type9. check to make sure that
    you have correctly specified the number of header lines to skip (1
    in your case) and the correct number of values to read (7 in your
    case). The data interval should be 0.1 hours. I would guess that you
    want to set Type9 to mode 3.<br>
    Best,<br>

                          This is a known bug and one that we are
                        working on solving. The problem appears to come
                        from a dynamic calculation of the transition
                        between laminar and turbulent flow which (to my
                        understanding) includes a correction for the
                        actual water temperature when performed during a
                        simulation in Type56 but for an assumed water
                        temperature when performed in TRNBuild. I have
                        found that if you increase the mass flow rate by
                        a bit then you get away from the problem. It
                        sounds, however, as though this hasn't worked in
                        your case. If the project is not too
                        complicated, please send it and we can have a
                        closer look internally.<br>
                        Kind regards,<br>
