[TRNSYS-users] Slab on grade

[David Bradley]

Fabien,
   We usually recommend a node size progression that starts with 
approximately 0.1 m at the edge of the slab and doubles in size with each 
subsequent node. Then at some point, subsequent nodes stay the same size. 
The progression might be 0.1m, 0.2m, 0.4m, 0.8m, 1.6m, 3.2m, 3.2m, 3.2m, 
3.2m. In more recent versions of the slab model, we changed the required 
parameter list so that it asks for the total number of nodes, the ratio of 
one node size to the next, and the number of nodes after which the size 
stays the same.
Cheers,
  David
