Hi Tobias,

 

dow did you create the second surface, by copy and invert the first one? 

 

The error massages look like that the vertice sequence is not correct.

 

Regards

Monika

Subject: [esp-r] Accounting for furniture in ESP-r

 

Hi, 

We have modelled a room as one simple zone and would like to include obstacles like furniture or additional thermal mass within the zone.
Following the FAQ list about how to create furniture, we have conducted the following steps: (a) Creation of two surfaces back-to-back inside the zone (not attached to other bounding surfaces) (b) assignment of a material from the material database to each of the surfaces whereby the material contains only half of the total thickness, (c) boundary assignment using 'adiabatic' conditions.

Conducting a 'check surface-vertex topology' after step (a), an error is displayed which states that the 'enclosure is improperly bounded' and that 'edges between vertices... may be unbounded'. What is the exact procedure to solve this problem? Is it for example necessary to link the furniture surfaces to the enclosing surfaces somehow? Any advice is appreciated.
Regards

Tobias
