[TRNSYS-users] Trnsys3D

[Nicolas Heijmans]

Hello,

I'm trying to use trnsys3D, which seems very promising.
I have two very simple questions.

1)
Is it possible to define two walls in the same plane, as shown on the following figure ?
It's a door inside a wall.

According to my experience, this is not possible because TRNSYS3D will define two walls :

-        the door (0.9*2.01),

-        the full wall (3*3.44), and not (3*3.44) - (0.9*2.01)

Could you please correct me if I'm wrong/confirm what I think/give me any trick that I would have missed? (Probably the only option is the following :

2)
The manual seems to say that it is possible to directly import .idf file in TRNbuild...

But this option is not available in my version of TRNbuidl (2.0) :

Is this normal ?

Thanks,

Kind regards,
