of yours publications from IBPSA Conferences and an ASHRAE Transaction where
you describe your work. It seams, when modelling PCMs, its necessary to define
the layer properties in the multilayer constructions file, until here no
problems. But when defining 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. My reading conclusions indicate 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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
