<p>Amin,</p>
<p> Make sure that all of the path names to external files in your
project are absolute (ie
c:\Trnsys18\MyProjects\ProjectX\myBuilding.b18). TRNOpt/GenOpt
makes a copy of your input file, adds in the present values of
your variables and runs it from its own location. If you have
relative paths (ie .\MyProjects\ProjectX\myBuilding.b18) then
those files don't exist at the specified location once the input
file has been moved. <br>
</p>
<p>kind regards,</p>

</div>
<div>I am trying to use TRNOPT for parametric/optimisation runs,
but when I run the simulation (after setting all the settings
up as shown in the documentation relative to TRNOPT) I get an
error message and the simulation stops before even starting.
The error is shown in the attached picture 1. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It reports that I need to specify at least one output for
the surface number (-1) while this number associated with
this supposed surface does not exist at all in my TRNBuild
project. </div>
<div>Also the zone number is not specified in the error message
(while there are 2 thermal zones in my project).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone encountered this issue I would grateful to
receive help</div>
