[TRNSYS-users] Thermal Zone of Non-Rectangular Geomtry (Simulation Studio/TRNBuild)

I am having trouble figuring out how to create a thermal
zone either within the Simulation Studio or TRNBuild that
consists of non-rectangular geometry.  This could either be
in regards to circular/spherical geometry or geometry that
could be modeled as "adjacent rectangles" with different
length and width dimensions.  However I am reluctant to
model a single thermal zone with adjacent rectangular
geometry using a "massless wall" and entering 0 thermal
resistance for the "walls" that don't actually exist within
the thermal zone.  Thanks!
