cnfgtr.trn

[David Bradley <bradley@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear TRNSYS Users,
  It sounds as though there is some confusion about the cnfgtr.trn file. This file contains a number of TRNSYS settings and is read in by trnlib.dll as one of the very first steps in launching a simulation. The trnlib.dll looks for the file in a number of locations. It first looks in the location of the .dck file being run. If it does not find the file there, it then looks in the trnsys root directory (\trnsys15\). If it does not find the file there, then the values contained in cnfgtr.trn are defaulted by the code and the simulation proceeds. The problem that many of you have mentioned this morning is that sometimes when a TRNSYS simulation ends in error, a blank version of the file cnfgtrn.trn has been created and is left behind. The next time a simulation is run, TRNSYS finds the blank file, opens it and tries to read the contents - obviously it does not find what it is looking for and the error is generated.

  Some of you have mentioned that deleting the cnfgtr.trn file from the project directory solves the problem - more specifically this is because that particular version of the file is empty and has been created as the result of an error. You can also solve the problem by making a copy of the cnfgtr.trn file normally located in the \trnsys15 directory and placing it in the project directory.
Cheers,
  David
