Dear users,
Does anyone know why, when i do change the input units in Type56 the program doesn?t recognize/update the new units and always use the default units?,
In particular i want to feed type56 with W/m2 radiation instead of kJ/h*m2.

Best regards,

Juan Francisco,
This is true of all components, not just of Type56. TRNSYS components
require their inputs to be in a certain system of units. They assume
that a value that is passed to them either as a constant or as the
output of another component are in those units. If you change the units
of an input, no automatic conversion is made; the component still
assumes that it is receiving a value in the correct units.
Best,
David
