<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am modeling a cabin log that is heated by electric
baseboards and a fireplace that is consistently used during cold weather.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>How can I integrate the fireplace load to the model, what
would be the approach?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
