[Equest-users] Delete plenum from existing model

Hi Shashank,
You can make the INT-WALL-TYPE of the ceiling surfaces ADIABATIC (no heat transfer across the surface) which eliminates the requirement for the NEXT-TO keyword.
A second option that may be easier is to copy your model and make the change in the Wizard mode. Once you take the revised model into DD Edit mode, you can open the input files of each model and copy the entire spaces section of the revised model into the other model. There’s more work to it though if you have already made many changes to loads in the spaces, as those changes are lost when you revert to Wizard mode and you’ll have to reenter them or copy them from the earlier model.
Regards,
~Bill

Subject: [Equest-users] Delete plenum from existing model

Hi Users

I am facing a challenge in deleting the plenum from each floor of the building. Initially, I have created a building with Flr to Ceil height of 9ft and Ceil to Flr height 4ft. Know I have to delete the plenum from each floor, in this process I have increased the Flr to Ceil height to 13ft, then tried to delete the plenum walls for each zone. After that, I am trying to delete the plenum space but the "Next to the surface" of the ceiling is which is selected as plenum are creating an error.

Please let me know the way to delete the plenum in detailed mode.

Thank you
Regards
