User-defined HTF - IPH Trough Model

I'm having some issues with the HTF user-defined data table when simulating with the Process Heat Parabolic Trough model (SAM Version 2017.9.5, 64 bit, updated to revision 2).

When I run the simulation I get the following message:

exec fail(trough_physical_iph): The user defined field HTF table must contain at least 3 rows and exactly 7 columns. The current table contains 1 row(s) and 1 column(s)
Simulation trough_physical_process_heat failed.

Using the same user-defined data table in the CSP parabolic trough (physical) model it works normally, as well as when I run the simulation in the SAM Version 2017.1.17.

Is that a known problem or am I doing anything wrong?

Thank you for your attention.

Dear Marcos,

That appears to be a problem with the IPH Trough model. We are investigating that, and I will get back to you when I have more information.

Best regards,
Paul.
