Re: [TRNSYS-users] reporting possible TRNSYS3d bug



Hello Matt,

 

If you say so concerning *.skp and *.idf, I guess I did a mess with the *.idf !

Please find it attached.

 

Three questions now:

-          How can I understand whether the *.idf is well done (just importing it in TRNSYS or also opening it as text?)?

 

-          Just to start correctly next time: it doesn’t make any sense, creating the building as *.skp and then drawing the TRNSYS zones (generating the *.idf) as “geometric carbon copy” of the *.skp geometry, right?   

 

-          in zoning process, facing convex zones is really frequent (for example following the shape of flats within a multifamily house).

In order to create a detailed model following the apartments shapes (well zoned building, high number of zones, high simulation times), the only solution to represent correctly the “convex” apartment is to create 2 no convex zones separated with a full glazed, no resistance wall, setting then an high flow rate between the two zones?

 

Thanks a lot,

 

With best regards

 

 

Stefano

Hello Stefano,

I have never seen this particular error. To the best of your knowledge, were there any significant errors in your *.idf? You hopefully did not combine a *.skp file with your *.idf?

Best regards,

Matt Duffy

Dear all,

 

I am facing this problem with the TRNSYS3d plug in.

Is this the right place to communicate this, isn’t? Please find in the following the error description.

 

Thanks
