<p>Sinchote,</p>
<p>If you reduced your timestep to 1 minute and added pipes and you are still having convergence problems then it is very likely that you don't have things hooked up correctly or that your controls are aren't quite correct. We've modeled this type of system
many times without convergence problems. You should research and try the TRACE command to help you figure out where the convergence problems are occurring and get hints as to what may be causing them.</p>

<div dir="auto">Would you control the real system that you are modeling to make decisions only once an hour? That’s what you are replicating by having an hour timestep. Add pipes, reduce your timestep to ~1 minute and you’ll start to see results that you’d
see if you built this system.

<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px"> I use TRNSYS 18 for solar absorption cooling system as in Fig.1. While i set the simulation time step was 5 minutes, the system can simulate. However, when i changed the simulation time step into 30 minutes
or 1 hour, the system cannot operate. The TRNSYS program show 2 error that below(as see in Fig.2)</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px">1.)TRNSYS Messsage 203 ---> A convergence problem was encountered. Modification of the TOLERANCES control card may cure the problem.</p>
