[esp-r] Re: surface attributes for adjacent zones

[Jon Hand]

There is an automated 'topology check' in the project manager that
will scan thru all of the surfaces in your model and locate matches
which meet certain kinds of geometric criteria (surface areas a close
match, orientations, coordinates within a specified tolerance).  For
surfaces that is does not find a match for it will ask for your opinion.

Your description seems to indicate that you are doing the linking
definition one surface at a time (probably in the surface attribute
menu).  Surface by surface is a really slow way of doing this task.

Your description also indicates that there might be a corruption
of your model - the master list of surfaces in the model might
not be matching the actual number of surfaces in each of the
zones.  There is a 'clear topology' option in the project manager
which should be invoked and then you should run the topology check
option.

You should find a discussion of surface boundary conditions
in the ESP-r Cookbook (available on the ESRU web page).

Subject: [esp-r]  surface attributes for adjacent zones

Hello all

I have a 8 floor 43 zones building but the the problem is every time I try
to to give the boundary conditions for zone adjacency(surface in another
zone option) for one zone and then move on to next zone, after some time I
check the boundary conditions for the previously defines zones, they are
changed randomly to some other surfaces in some other zones and I am not
able to correctly define boundary conditions and the topology vertex
connection test gives me errors. Is there a prescribed method for defining
adjacent zones??

TIA

Nalin
