Hi All,

I am modeling SDHW and I want to use the boundary condition files for  
DHW load. As far as I know I have to add component 76 to my plant to  
be able to use the BCD files. Then, I have to define appropriate  
control type to read them in. As I can see in exemplar:  
/tester/test_suite/plt_boundary_conditions/ I have to define control  
law 12 and the ipsn(?,1) = -1. But that control law has been removed  
from esp-r and a new sensor is added as ipsn (?,1) = -5. This sensor  
is intended for reading bcd file. As it is mentioned in  
esrocom/econtrol.F this sensor is not activated yet. However, I can  
see the code to read the bcd file with ipsn(?,1) = -5 is defined there  
but not sure if it is connected to the plant calculation. I have two  
questions:

1) if instead of control law 12 I have to use ipsn(?,1) =-5 which  
means define the sensor to read the bcd file what should be the  
control type and control law. And is sensor = -5 is activated or not?

2) if that sensor is not activated and there is no control law 12 how  
can I define bcd file for my plant?

I really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
