Re: Problems on running new input and model filles

["David Bradley" <bradley@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mr. Yu,
   Technically, the TRNSYS group no longer supports TRNSYS 14.2 and I would 
highly recommend upgrading to v. 15.2. However, I think that the error you 
are seeing is not related to a particular version. The most basic steps 
required to add a new Type to the TRNSYS dll can be executaed from a 
command prompt and are.

1. recompile your new type (89 in your case) - this will create a .obj file
2. open the file link.dvf and add a line that says 
"\trnwin\types\type89.obj" (modify the path name depending on where the 
.obj file was created
3. relink the file trnlib32.dll by executing a link command that references 
the newly modified link.dvf file.
4. check the date on the file trlib32.dll - if it is the current date, then 
there is some problem and a new .dll file was not created.

There are some web pages available at the Solar Energy Lab's site which 
will give you more detailed information about recompiling and relinking the 
dll. They talk about TRNSYS 15 and while the names of the files and 
pathnames have changed, the basic concept for adding new Types has not.

Kind regards,
   David
