[TRNSYS-users] How to put holes between two thermal zones in Trnsys3d to simulate air flow between them.

[David BRADLEY]

Joynal,
   I am not sure that you actually want to delete the windows. If you 
leave them in, then TRNBuild will import them as an "ADJ_WINDOW" and you 
can then change the properties of ADJ_WINDOW to be those of a virtual 
(non-existent / open) window, which will allow solar radiation to pass 
through. If you delete the windows and leave a hole in the TRNSYS3D wall 
(and Trnsys3D actually lets you do so) then once you import into 
TRNBuild, it would be as though the adjacent surface between the two 
zones was the gross wall area minus the "hole" area. There would be no 
representation at all of the hole and consequently, sunlight would not 
pass through and nor would there be a path by which airflow could pass 
between the two zones.
Kind regards,
  David
