Dear Pablo,
SAM 2014.1.14 only displays hourly results, so it truncates the data beyond 8,760 data rows in the graphs on the Results page. However, the TRNSYS simulation engine generates an output file (text file with the .out extension) that you can find in the temporary folder SAM creates to store simulation data.
After running simulations, you can find the output file while SAM is still running. SAM deletes the temporary files when you close it, so be sure to keep SAM open when you look for the file. For example, on my Windows computer the folder that contains the output file is here:
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\SAMEXE\SAMEXE-Paul-INST1-2014.1.14\simdata
The file has a name that looks like this. It is a text file with tab-delimited data:
New CSP Trough Physical Case 1 STEP 15m ID 171475992.out
There is a standalone version of the SAM 2014.11.24 data viewer called
DView 2.0
, but unfortunately it does not seem to read the .out file, perhaps because it is very large (65 MB). I have asked the DView developers about that and will let you know when I hear back from them.
UPDATE: DView 2.0 only reads comma-separated data, so to use it to display data from a .out file, you can replace the tabs with commas. (Future versions of DView will support tab-delimited data.) In case you want to modify other time-series data for DView 2.0, you can find a description of the DView file template format in the DView installation folder (
C:\Program Files (x86)\NREL\DView2\SampleFiles).
I found another data viewing program called
Kst
that might work for viewing the data in the .out file, but I have not used it.
Best regards,
Paul.
