In WUFI 3.3 I was able to take TRY climate files and convert them to KLI files that were recognizable in WUFI 3.3. I tried using the same climate file in WUFI 4.0 and received an error message that the weather start date had to be January 1 (which it is in TRY files).
How can I use TRY files with WUFI 4.0? I need the climate data for specific locales, rather than the limited number of cities for California.
Thanks!

Re: TRY Weather Data to KLI format
Yes, we had some problems with the KLI-File in WUFI® 4.0. The next Release is almost finished and you will be able to use all of your KLI-Files.cwalker wrote:In WUFI 3.3 I was able to take TRY climate files and convert them to KLI files that were recognizable in WUFI 3.3.

Go the menu where you select a climate file from the map. On the top right you can "Select user defined File" where you can select your .TRY file. If you use this option you will need some Additional Geografic Data (AGD) depending on the file type. If the file type is .TRY you will need the time zone from UTC. Please refer to the online help for further information. A file named example.agd should be installed. For instance the time zone of eatern time is -5 (hours from UTC).cwalker wrote:How can I use TRY files with WUFI 4.0?

We can provide you with an Excel sheet which can create the .TRY file and the .AGD file for you. Please reply if you want use it.
