Re: [TRNSYS-users] How to put holes between two thermal zones in Trnsys3d to simulate air flow between them.



Joynal,
  I am not sure that you actually want to delete the windows. If you leave them in, then TRNBuild will import them as an "ADJ_WINDOW" and you can then change the properties of ADJ_WINDOW to be those of a virtual (non-existent / open) window, which will allow solar radiation to pass through. If you delete the windows and leave a hole in the TRNSYS3D wall (and Trnsys3D actually lets you do so) then once you import into TRNBuild, it would be as though the adjacent surface between the two zones was the gross wall area minus the "hole" area. There would be no representation at all of the hole and consequently, sunlight would not pass through and nor would there be a path by which airflow could pass between the two zones.
Kind regards,
 David

Dear all,

Help needed with the above issue, I tried inserting rectangles on the adjacent surfaces which are automatically attributed as windows and then deleted the glass surfaces, assuming it would then be considered as a holes (as you can generate in IES-VE). When the drawing is saved, closed and re-loaded again, the hole gets removed. Any help & suggestion on this will be extremely appreciated.

 

Thanking you in advance.
