If you then define a surface in your model to be of this MLC type, you will be promted to enter the GSLEdit output file and ESP-r will generate a file "zone.cfc". Then you are ready to run the simulation using the CFC type surface.</div><div><br></div><div>I strongly recommend downloading Bart Lomanowski's Thesis (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(14, 119, 74); font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-size: small; "><a href="http://uwspace.uwaterloo.ca/bitstream/10012/4164/1/Lomanowski_">uwspace.uwaterloo.ca/bitstream/10012/4164/1/Lomanowski_</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(14, 119, 74); font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-size: small; "><b>Bartosz</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(14, 119, 74); font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-size: small; ">.pdf</span>) - he is the developer of the CFC code and gives a detailed description of their functionality and usage.</div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div>Achim</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 26, 2011, at 7:36 AM, simsera1110 wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Thank you for your advice and I have more questions about it.<br><br>I downloaded GSLEdit program as you said and make window glazing with<br>argon and krypton in this simulation.
