Re: [TRNSYS-users] Curved window

Dear Antoine,

 

the complex fenestration window doesn’t handle this.

The error really depends on how the window is curved.

Instead of using an area-weighted slope  you could also try to subdivide the windows in several planar ones and check if the simplification is really changing results significantly.

Betreff: [TRNSYS-users] Curved window

 

Dear users

 

Is there a recommended practice for modelling curved windows?

Especially:

• Do the new features of Complex Fenestration Systems account for that kind of geometry?
• Is there any published reference which I could use to get an assessment of the uncertainty resulting from a simplified approach with an area-weighted average slope?

Thanks for any advice on this matter.

Best
