for the model to run. For many models the results would
be sufficiently accurate if internal partitions were treated as
adiabatic. If GBS had a switch to ignore vertical adjacencies
and insert adiabatic partition instead, ABS and GBS would work
together. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

for multi story buildings because of the vertical adjacency problem.
Single floor buildings should work although you have to be careful with the
internal load definitions because all the ABS values get pulled into the GBS
model.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Hi there, I have a question
regarding to converting GBXML from ABS to GBS. GBS keep giving me error messages
such as “Surface id= su13_Floor, an InteriorFloor, should have two spaces
adjacent to it. It has 1 defined.“ As such, I constructed a test run with only 1
espace on first level and 1 espace on second level. The second level espace is
perfectly line up above the first level espace. The error message remains with
the second level spaces’ floor type set to “Interior Space.” The error message
only goes away when the floor type is changed to “Raised Floor.” However, I
thought “raised floor” is referring to under floor distribution. Does Autodesk
has different terminology? Is it the right setting for slab to slab
construction? If not, what other possibility for the
error?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

found out that if the space has partial roof, it needs to be separated by two
espaces.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
