Hello Ethan, I am not familiar with Type 633, but you could try to connect the heat rate output from the heater to the room input by adding new Gains in the Type 56 zone. There you can connect radiative and convective power from the heater, choose the most appropriate, by input variables which you must first define in the Type 56 building component. Thereafter you can connect appropriate outputs from the heater to these inputs.
Since you mention that the heater has a fan, you can also connect it to the room by adding a new Ventilation. I think this is the most common way of specifying heating and cooling equipment outside of the building component. Add air flow temperature, RH and room airchange rate as inputs to Type 56, and connect them in the Ventilation setup. See Examples/HVAC-building on how to do this.

I am trying to model a single room (type 56) with an electric space heater (type 633), but I can't figure out how to link the heat rate output of the heater to the room input. The control signal is working appropriately as is the heater (i.e. when room temperature drops, the control signal activates the heater increasing the heat rate and fan power), but there is no associated rise in space temperature. Could someone point me in the right direction?
