Re: [TRNSYS-users] NON-SYMMETRIC ADJACENT WALLS



Juan Francisco,
  When you draw your building in Trnsys3D, you will need to perform either an automatic or a manual surface matching so that the wall that separates the two zones is listed as ADJACENT in both. Once you import your *.idf into TRNBuild, you should see the ADJACENT wall listed in both zones. Go to the wall typemanager and select the ADJACENT wall type (note, you may want to make a copy of this wall and give it a new name in case you have more than one type of adjacent wall in your building). You can now change the layers to be whatever you like. Note that at the top of the layer list there is text that says "front/inside." This means that the first layer in the list is denoted as the "front" of the wall. Lastly, go to the zone that contains the "front" of the wall, select the ADJACENT wall in that zone and make sure that the radio button below says "front." If it says "back," simply change it to "front."
Best,
 David

i´m sorry my question was not completely defined, i meant an adjacent wall (or ceiling) with non-simmetric material layers.

Juan Francisco,
  I may be misinterpreting what you mean by non-symmetric adjacent walls. However, if it is the case I am imagining, you have a zone containing one wall that is adjacent to two other zones (draw a large box with a T-shape in it so that you have one box on top and two smaller boxes underneath). In this case, you have to break up the wall in the zone on top into two walls, each one adjacent to a single zone. The zone on top will end up having 5 walls instead of 4.
Kind regards,
 David

hello all.
 
Is there a way to create non-symmetric adjacent walls in TRNSYS3D or TRNBUILD?
