After specifying the number of inputs and outputs of the type within the TRNSYS environment, respective links to other components can be established. In every simulation step, the type consumes a certain amount of inputs and sends the values to Java. Based on this, a certain amount of outputs is generated in Java, send back to TRNSYS and used as the type's output for the current simulation step. The communication between the TRNSYS type and the Java class is based on the Java Native Interface (JNI).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:DE'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:DE'>The type is intended for free usage.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:DE'>However, we don’t give any support for the type.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:DE'>Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards,<br>Tillman Faßnacht<br>Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter<br>Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)<br>Building Science Group (FBTA)<br>Englerstrasse 7, B. 20.40, R. 235<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:DE'>Telefon: 0721 608 43769<br>76131 Karlsruhe GERMANY<br>E-mail : <a href="mailto:Tillman.Fassnacht@kit.edu"><span style='color:blue'>Tillman.Fassnacht@kit.edu</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
