It seems possible that you have assumed that the processes you have defined for the trade links would only represent existing capacities. Is that perhaps the problem?
Anyway, that is not the case. You can, of course, define any number of parallel trade links for the same commodity and between the same regions, but each of the trade links will have an associated process on both sides of the link. And all trade processes in TIMES can have both existing capacities and new investments, just like any other processes in TIMES. The fact that you are using VEDA as your user interface does not change this basic feature of TIMES.
