Ewen,
You may check the manual 05-MultizoneBuilding.pdf :
5.2.4.10. Coupling between airnodes of same zone
Since Version 17, a thermal zone may consist of more than one airnode.
In general, these airnodes do not have a common wall.
For defining a coupling between these airnode within the same zone, this regime option can be used.
Each airnode may get up to two coupling airflows from “adjacent” airnodes.
(Note: “Upper” and “lower” are just names which don’t correspond to the actual location).
First, the coupling has to be activated, than the airnode from which the air flow is coming has to be selected.
Finally, the coupling airflow has to be defined as a constant, schedule or input.
If you have more than one arinode in one zone an additional button in the regime called “coupling” is visible
In the airnode window.
You need activate this regime coupling in both airnodes.

Betreff: [TRNSYS-users] Use of Trnflow with vitual walls
Dear users,
I'm trying to use trnflow for a multiple airnode zone (3 airnodes). My problem is that i cannot define any airlink between my airnodes because there is no adjacent wall between them : virtual ceilings have been modelized. I know it's possible to define couplings between the airnodes but trnflow doesn't seem able to use them. Is there any solution ?
Thank you for your help,
Ewen
