Re: [TRNSYS-users] Creating a Door in Trnsys 3D

[Jean Marais <jeannieboef@gmail.com>]

As to the floor...that should be fine, as long as the boundry condition is set to outdoors. This is known as an external floor and is common as the first floor of a highrise on parts of the perimeter zones.

Doors are a bit more tricky. You could split your wall into 4 sections, the middle one being the "door" and assign this surface the door properties...or you could draw a window and try replicate door properties.

Hello,

I am an engineering student new to using trnsys and here are my two issues right now.

First I would like to simulate a couple of doors that would have different materials from the external walls. I have tried several different things in the sketch up trnsys 3d plugin but every time I import it into trnsys it is taken out and I simply have a single external wall. 

The second issue is that the building I am simulating will be off the ground on piers. I do not fully understand what impacts the boundary conditions on the "floor" orientation does. I ideally want to have the heat transfer functions of my floor orientation to be based off of the outdoor air temperature and conditions.

Any help with this would be most appreciated
