number of zones

["Robert Kouba" <kouba@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleagues,

We are a group of engineers at the Technical University in Graz/Austria and 
we are facing the following
problem. In setting up large-scale building simulation models within TRNSYS 
we are approaching
the range of 100 and more different zones. We have heard the 'rumour' that 
there is an upper bound of 100
zones for running the TRNSYS simulation. Two aspects would be of interest 
to us: First, is there a zone limitation
imposed by the code (and is there a way to overcome that .....) and second: 
has anybody practical experience (hardware requirements,
running times, etc) in running such calculations on PCs which he/she could 
share with us.

Best regards and thanks in advance
Robert Kouba
