*hello;*
I m simulating a house built out of earth with a type 56, and for wall
thicknesses > 30cm the results are not ‘good’. I have tried to change
the subroutine that calculates the transfer function coefficients but I
do not succeed; how can I do this? IS there another way that solves the
problem?**
Type 56 is known to have a problem to calculate the wall transfer
functions of very thick (massive) walls. If you are using a time base
that is less than 1 hour, you can try using 1 hour since this will
usually give good results even if your simulation uses a shorter time
step. If you are already using a "large" time base, one workaround is to
split the wall in two identical parts separated by a fictitious zone.
Set the convection coefficient to a very high value in the fictitious
zone, and its volume to a very small value. I am not aware of any
problems related to that technique except for the fact that it's not as
convenient as being able to define the wall directly.
