Each one will have a different value of the thickness and a different name. In TRNEdit you'll then replicate the line that assigns the the *.b17 file name to a logical unit number (which is used as a Type56 parameter). You can then set the parameter / logical unit number as a constant and give a different value for each run of your parametric table. Your *.dck might have a section that looks like:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>...<br>ASSIGN c:\Trnsys17\MyProjects\BuildingParametric\building(v1).b17 401<br>ASSIGN c:\Trnsys17\MyProjects\BuildingParametric\building(v2).b17 402<br>ASSIGN c:\Trnsys17\MyProjects\BuildingParametric\building(v3).b17 403<br>ASSIGN c:\Trnsys17\MyProjects\BuildingParametric\building(v4).b17 404<br>ASSIGN c:\Trnsys17\MyProjects\BuildingParametric\building(v5).b17 405<br><br>CONSTANTS 1<br>LU_B17 = 401<br><br>UNIT 1 TYPE 56<br>PARAMETERS 3<br>LU_B17 ! 1 Logical unit for building description file (.bui)<br>0 ! 2 Star network calculation switch<br>0.5 ! 3 Weighting factor for operative temperature<br>...<br><br>you'd then add LU_B17 to your parametric table and set the values to 401 through 405.<br>kind regards,<br> David<br><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 12/13/2016 08:23, Susanna Magli via TRNSYS-users wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6'></span><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6'>Dear</span><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6'> all,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6'>I was wondering whether is it possible to run parametric simulations with TrnEdit varying the wall type (thickness of layers) or some layers properties.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6'>Thank you<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6'>Susanna <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>TRNSYS-users mailing list<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="mailto:TRNSYS-users@lists.onebuilding.org">TRNSYS-users@lists.onebuilding.org</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://lists.onebuilding.org/listinfo.cgi/trnsys-users-onebuilding.org">http://lists.onebuilding.org/listinfo.cgi/trnsys-users-onebuilding.org</a><o:p></o:p></pre></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>-- <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>***************************<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>David BRADLEY<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Principal<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Thermal Energy Systems Specialists, LLC<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>22 North Carroll Street - suite 370<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Madison, WI 53703 USA<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>P:+1.608.274.2577<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>F:+1.608.278.1475<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="mailto:d.bradley@tess-inc.com">d.bradley@tess-inc.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://www.tess-inc.com">http://www.tess-inc.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://www.trnsys.com">http://www.trnsys.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre></div></body></html>
