What is TRNSYS? -Uses-
TRNSYS stands for TRaNsient SYstems Simulation
Designed over 35 years ago by Duffy Beckman
What is TRNSYS? -Background-
TRNSYS stands for TRaNsient SYstems Simulation
Designed over 35 years ago by Duffy Beckman
Used to simulate solar and & thermal process over a year
Solar Thermal
Photovoltaics
Building Simulations
Industrial
Many more
What is TRNSYS? -How Does it work-
TRNSYS utilizes a relatively simple interface to setup connections with other equipment such as solar collectors, Heat Exchanges, pumps, weather data etc.
Customize the connections for different simulations
Practically limitless
What is TRNSYS? -Customization-
Perhaps its best ability is its flexibility
If you can program it you can model it (provided you know how to
code)
