Thank you for your help.
 I can not buy any of your model right now since I'm still in internship :)
 But I'll remember that.

 Do you know any way to do that approximately and free ?

 Thanks
 Damien

 Damien,

 We sell several ground coupling models in our TESS Libraries that were created to do exactly as you suggest. Refer to the TRNSYS website for more information on these models (www.trnsys.com ). As you point out, the ground coupling in standard TRNSYS is designed for slab on grade construction.

Hi,

 For the first time I am modeling a building with two underground levels.
 So, I am wondering how I can model the surrounding soil, and even the ground floor, since it is not at the "altitude 0" like usually in the Trnsys Soil Noding plugin.

 Do you have any feedback on that kind of models ?
 Maybe the Soil Noding plugin is too unadapted for that purpose ?

 I guess I can choose a constant boundary condition for the floor, which is about 6 m deep, but as for the vertical walls, I am more dubious about approximations... 

 Thanks for sharing your experience,
 Damien
