Hello All,<br><br>I'm attempting to model an apartment with a concrete balcony for which the slab is continuous from the balcony to the interior. I have a couple questions about this:<br>- If I model the balcony as a zone (not sure how I would do it otherwise), can I set it up so that conduction occurs between the slab in the balcony zone and the floor of the apartment zone?<br>- For the manual addition of grid lines, why does ESP-r request two coordinates for a horizontal gridline, for example, when this could be defined with a single value? Am I missing something?<br>- It is possible to subdivide the slab in the thickness direction, or should this be merely done by having multiple identical layers in the construction definition?<br><br>Finally, if anyone knows a good source of information for the 3d gridding process, please let me know. I found the only relevant exemplar overly complex.<br><br>Thanks very much.<br><br>Liam O'Brien<br> <br /><hr /> <a href='' target='_new'></a></body>
