<p>Dear TRNSYS users,</p>

</p>
<p>To omit using the plug-in of type 533 (Horizontal storage tank) for a parametric study, I need to modify its proforma. </p>
<p>Can it be done by simply adding the parameters that can be seen in the plug-in window as parameters in the proforma and removing the link to the external files?</p>

(e.g. Entry node-1, exit mode-1 for port # 1 & e<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols; font-size:16px">ntry
node-2, exit mode-2 for port # 2 & ..., which depend on the number of ports as another parameter)</span></p>
