[TRNSYS-users] Linear parabolic concentrator_Type 536

Hello TRNSYS users,

I am working on a model with flat plate collectors, thermal storage, external load files, absorption chiller, pumps, controllers, etc. It runs fine.
However, when I change the collector type to linear parabolic concentrator (Type 536) with sample file for Bi-Axial IAMs, I am getting this error : "The utility subroutine DATA cannot read the specified input data file. Make sure that the file is ASSIGNed correctly and that the file has the correct format. Reported information : ASSIGNED LOGICAL UNIT 10"

Any ideas/suggestions?
Thank you.

Hi,

I would suggest to check at the "externa files" tab of the proforma that
the path is ok and the file has not 0 size. If that's ok, at parameters
tab, check that those indicating the number of points at the file are set
correctly, regards

Thanks Angel, but I had already checked the path, file size and the contents of the external file. The file does have 100 data points.
In parameters, the number of data points is defined as 10 each for transverse and longitudinal incidence angles (0 to 90). So no issues there.

Anything else that could be wrong?
Thanks again..
