There seem to be two different sources of TMY3 data on NREL's site.
I do not think that this is an issue of the demo version versus the
full TRNSYS version. I will email you a copy of the Albany TMY3 data
that I downloaded from NREL's site; it is correctly read by TRNSYS.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.<br>
best,<br>
David<br>

I went to NREL's data site and got the Albany data file,
saved it locally (leaving the extension of *.csv) and made
a new project in the demo version using the Type15-TMY3
(Type 15 mode 7) proforma, indicated the Albany data file,
put in an online plotter to watch temperature and ran the
project without any errors. If you'd like to send me the
file that you downloaded I can try that one too.<br>
kind regards,<br>
David

<div>The file I downloaded directly from NREL
(with CSV extension) produced the same error

figure out how to end in a TMY3 extension rather
than TMY3.CSV. (I am not sure if the CSV
extension is a problem).</div>

The official TMY3 syntax is comma
separated. The file you attached is tab
delimited. Did you download it directly from
an NREL site or did it get processed
(resaved as tab delimited?) along the way?<br>

TMY3 files downloaded from
NREL's site should work fine
with the demo version. You do
have to make sure that you are
using the TMY3 mode of Type15.
When you get the error, to
what "it" do you refer? Is
there an error generated by
TRNSYS? Is Windows complaining
about the file type? Some
additional specifics about the
source of the error and the
language of the error would
help in tracking down its
cause.<br>
kind regards,<br>
David<span><br>
