Jean-Pierre,

TRNSYS includes all the components you need to simulate such a system, 
from the building to the solar collector to the absorption machine. As 
you will see if you search the mailing list archive, the absorption 
cooling machine model (Type 7) has some usability issues, so the best 
option currently is to use non-standard components from the TESS 
libraries. You can find more information on those libraries on the 
TRNSYS website: http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys  (go to component models, 
you will see a list of available Types and a link to TESS)

Please note that TRNSYS 16 will include some of the TESS Types, 
including absorption cooling machine models.

Kind regards,

Michaël Kummert
