Re: [TRNSYS-users] Convex thermal zone with Trnsys3D.
Boulla,
The limitation is that if you are going to use the standard Type56
method for distributing radiation (beam distribution according to
GEOSURF factors, diffuse according to absorption area weighted, longwave
according to the star node network) then you can have any shaped zone.
If you want to switch to any of the more complex radiation exchange
modes, you need to have only convex zones.
Kind regards,
David

Dear users,
In the Trnsys3D tutorial (june 2010), it is said (p4) that trnsys3D
thermal zones must be convex. Is it still true? (maybe there has been
some changes on trnsys3D plugin since then)
I tried drawing a L shaped thermal zone, and when I open it with
trnstudio and run it it seems to work correctly.

Antoine Boulla
