[TRNSYS-users] U value problem



Dear all,

I try to change only the U value of the window by editing the BUI file, but
it is not possible to correct it.
I have changed U value without changing an optical characteristic of the
window.
When U value was output via SimulationStudio, it has no change, while the
output of TRNBuild gave the changed U value.

The corrected part is shown as follows.

And, I have two question.
1. Is the method of changing U value suitable?
2. How should I do so that only U value may change without changing 
an optical characteristic in the window?

Thanks in advance
