<p>Dear all,</p>

<p><br>

</p>

<p>To indroduce myself quickly, I'm a French engineering student, at the "EPF" school and I'm curently working on a project using Trnsys.

</p>

<p>I belong to a team which is working for several weeks (months) on a Trnsys modelisation of a Dish/Stirling engine system.</p>

<p>We began our project doing a bibliography, a state of the art of this system modelisation.</p>

<p>According to most of the following documents there are currently two type of modelisation:</p>

<p><br>

</p>

<p>-Using a calculator in order to modelise the system with some equations (Beale, West, Schmidt formula)</p>

<p><br>

</p>

<p>Is there any other solution available nowadays in order to modelise this system ? We didn't find any components in Trnsys library including STEC Library but maybe there is something somewhere.</p>

<p><br>

</p>

<p>Any help is much appreciated.</p>

<p><br>

</p>

<p>Yours faithfully</p>
