RE: TRNSYS 14.2

["Bedouani, Ben" <bbedouan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Mr. Mohsin,

First of all, welcom you and your students to the TRNSYS/COMIS listing
group...

Actually, I have already seen this problem when I just started using TRNSYS 
Normally,  you should find the answer in the  BID/LIB directory...

For your question about the difference in between the PREBID program and the
BID !...
You should know that the PREBID allows you to put the necessary data for
your building, the BID creates the two necessay files *.TRN and *.BLD you
should assign in your input file for the simulation...

Note that the *.BLD contain the necessary information about the thermal
characteristics of your building, when the *.TRN
file contains the Transfert function corfficient...

There are also some other topics the bid creates... I am sure you can find
out more details in the TRNSYS Manual...

Cordialement and Have a Nice Day...
