Dear Nalin,

Did you have tried a conflation of the walls like that?

# Solid boundary conditions.
*solids 
Wall3        Temp  25.00   | Confl   4  wallx 
Wall4        Temp  25.00   | Confl   3  wally 
Wall5        Temp  25.00   | Confl   11  wallz 


The walls created in cfd must related to the walls in the zone-model: p.e. wallx, wally and wallz 
But I don`t know  what are the numbers 4, 3, 11 for.

Regards
Monika

Betreff: [esp-r] Re: CFD problem

I changed the lines

Open1        Whole    6  25   1   1  11  20
Open2        Whole    6  25  25  25  11  20
 to:
Open1        South    6  25   1   1  11  20
Open2        North    6  25  25  25  11  20

and now grid error is not coming but still I am not able to do the CFD and air flow network conflation every time I try to define the boundary condition for open1 or open2 and choose the connections from network flow it gives the error that "cells are not compatible with chosen face please redefine"

Please help

Nalin
