Re: Question about warning in TRNSYS

["David Bradley" <bradley@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maurice,
   The warning means that the units of the output and the units of the 
input to which it is connected are not the same. The units corresponding to 
the three digit codes (IR1, TE1) can be found in the big red manual near 
the end of chapter 3.  For your specific case:


>***** WARNING *****
>   UNIT/TYPE/INPUT/VARTYPE  CONNECTED TO  UNIT/TYPE/OUTPUT/VARTYPE
>   ---------------------------------------------------------------
>    31     2     1   TE1       --------->    12    16     8    IR1

means that UNIT 31 TYPE 2 input 1 should be a temperature in degrees C 
(that's what TE1 stands for) but it is connected to UNIT 12 TYPE 16 output 
8, which is a radiation in kJ/hr.


>   ***** WARNING *****
>   UNIT/TYPE/INPUT/VARTYPE  CONNECTED TO  UNIT/TYPE/OUTPUT/VARTYPE
>   ---------------------------------------------------------------
>    31     2     3   TE1       --------->    12    16     8    IR1
means that UNIT 31 TYPE 2 input 3 should be a temperature in degrees C but 
it is connected to UNIT 12 TYPE 16 output 8, which is a radiation in kJ/hr.

etc.

Cheers,
   David
