Re: [TRNSYS-users] Different ROOF Types

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Meriem,
  A curved roof should be modeled by an equivalent faceted roof. There is no need to have too many facets. In my opinion an octagon in place of a circle is sufficient for modeling purposes.

  The libraries of existing roof, wall, and floor constructions can be viewed in TRNBuild. You can also open those files (located in..\Trnsys17\Building\Lib\...\Prgwall.lib) using a text editor such as Notepad.

kind regards,
 David

Dear trnsys-users,

I am modelling a building in two different roof cases:

1- A double pitched roof

2- A curved roof 

I tried to model the first case and I entered the same characteristics of the two sloping roof surfaces: area, slope (12°) and composition. The orientation was respectively East and West.

I wanted to know if my settings are adequate.

In addition I want to know how can I model a curved ceiling?

My last question is about walls, roof an floor compositions, can somebody help me with a document with the existing configurations.

I thank you in advance for any help.

Best Regards
