[esp-r] Increse nodes in multilayer constructions

Hello all,

 

Some days ago I post a message regarding problems with phase change
materials, I have already cross my initial problems, it's seems that the
advanced materials file created with the model have one problem writhing a
value. But it works now.

 

However I have another question. When modelling PCMs, its necessary to
define the layer properties in the multilayer constructions file, until here
no problems. But when I define the active material (PCM) in the advanced
components module it is necessary to define the node were it is associated.
Well my problem starts here. I have read that the proper way of putting them
in the layer is in the middle node but, the system, by default, only define
two nodes for each layer.

 

How can I tell the system to define, unless 3 nodes in each layer? I read
too, that a better subdivision of the layer will increase accuracy.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Best regards,

 

Nuno Fernandes
