trnsystor.statement.OverwriteCheck¶

class trnsystor.statement.OverwriteCheck(n=0)[source]¶

OverwriteCheck Statement.

A common error in non standard and user written TRNSYS Type routines is to reserve too little space in the global output array. By default, each Type is accorded 20 spots in the global TRNSYS output array. However, there is no way to prevent the Type from then writing in (for example) the 21st spot; the entire global output array is always accessible. By activating the OVERWRITE_CHECK statement, the TRNSYS kernel checks to make sure that each Type did not write outside its allotted space. As with the NAN_CHECK statement, OVERWRITE_CHECK is a time consuming process and should only be used as a debugging tool when a simulation is ending in error.

Initialize an OVERWRITE_CHECK object.

Hint

OVERWRITE_CHECK is a time consuming process and should only be used as a debugging tool when a simulation is ending in error.

Parameters: n (int) – Is 0 if the OVERWRITE_CHECK feature is not desired or 1 if OVERWRITE_CHECK feature is desired.
