[Bldg-sim] PCM modelling in DesignBuilder

[sukreet singh]

Hi Apeksha,

It is probably the version issue. I would recommend you upgrade it to v 3.2
released on May 22nd. (3.2.0.067). It has a lot of improvements and bug
fixes.

You would be able to see 'Phase Change Tab' to enter temperature
coefficient and points on Enthalpy curve.

It would look like attached image. Hope that helps.
