TRNSYS 16 was released in October 2004.The current
release is 16.01.0003 (2007-03-03)
TRNSYS 16: an integrated package
After four years of development work, both the
TRNSYS kernel and its graphical user interface have undergone
significant evolutions.
While the TRNSYS kernel has been restructured to
allow for even easier integration of new components, communication with
other programs and even higher performance, the graphical user
interface has evolved towards an integrated development and simulation
environment : the TRNSYS Simulation Studio.
The TRNSYS Simulation Studio is the next
generation of the well-known IISiBat program, and the other programs in
the TRNSYS Suite have also been renamed to reflect the higher level of
integration:
- TRNBuild (formerly
known as Prebid) is the visual interface of the multi-zone building
model (Type 56)
- TRNEdit is the
successor of TRNSHELL. TRNEdit is used to develop stand-alone
distributable TRNSYS applications
