[TRNSYS-users] how to identify a wall that is adjacent two walls

[David BRADLEY]

Nidal,
   You have to be a little careful here. If you have a wall in zone 1, 
half of which is adjacent to zone 2 and half of which is adjacent to 
zone 3, you actually need to draw the wall as two walls in zone 1. 
Trnsys3D requires the user to be quite vigilant about manually setting 
adjacencies. You need to draw the ADJACENT wall in both zones and you 
need to open the object window for each of them, set the construction to 
ADJ_WALL, set the "outside boundary condition" to "Zone" and then 
manually select the zone to which it is adjacent in the "outside 
boundary object" field.

   If you have been very careful about drawing your ADJACENT walls so 
that they have exactly the same verticies in both zones to which they 
belong, you can then select the menu item:  Plugins: Trnsys3d: Surface 
Matching and click the "match in entire model" button.

Kind regards,
  David
