Re: [TRNSYS-users] how to identify a wall that is adjacent two walls



Nidal,
  You have to be a little careful here. If you have a wall in zone 1, half of which is adjacent to zone 2 and half of which is adjacent to zone 3, you actually need to draw the wall as two walls in zone 1. Trnsys3D requires the user to be quite vigilant about manually setting adjacencies. You need to draw the ADJACENT wall in both zones and you need to open the object window for each of them, set the construction to ADJ_WALL, set the "outside boundary condition" to "Zone" and then manually select the zone to which it is adjacent in the "outside boundary object" field.

  If you have been very careful about drawing your ADJACENT walls so that they have exactly the same verticies in both zones to which they belong, you can then select the menu item:  Plugins: Trnsys3d: Surface Matching and click the "match in entire model" button.

Kind regards,
 David

I drew a house using Trnsys3d that consists of: 3 bed rooms, living room, guest room and bath . The house was divided into 6 zones. Wall_zone5, for example, is adjacent two walls for two different zones. I am wondering how to identify a wall (using Object Info) that is adjacent two or more walls of diff. zones.
