Hi Daine,

Please see the Help topic "Solar Field," which you can find in the table of contents under CSP Parabolic Trough, Physical Trough Model. The description for "Required number of loops, SM=1" and "Actual number of loops" explain how SAM determines the number of loops.

To open Help, either click the Help button or press the F1 key.

Best regards,
Paul.
