Christain and Maroun,<br>
I would be very careful about workarounds. If you run a simulation
that has one instance of a component in it, then drag out a second
instance and the results of the first change then it is almost
certain that the Type was not programmed in such a way as to allow
there to be multiple instances in a simulation. They are sharing
some data structures internally and there isn't really any way of
getting around that except if you use a compiler to make a copy of
the Type, give it a new Type number, then recompile and link it into
its own DLL.<br>
In general the better solution is to be in contact with the author
of Type399 (or with the distributor from whom you purchased it) and
see if they can assist.<br>
kind regards,<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0
.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Dear
TRNSYS users,<br>
I have a multizone building model, where I want to use two
PCM components (Type 399) to model the ceilings of two
adjacent rooms.<br>
When I run the simulation I noticed that the two components
somehow share information. The PCM temperature is the same
in both components.<br>
<br>
I tried to switch the component order in the Control Cards,
which changes the PCM temperature, but they are still equal.<br>
How can I run two instances of a type side-by-side? Is this
a limitation in how Type 399 was programmed?<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
Christian<br>
