[TRNSYS-users] Creating a Door in Trnsys 3D

[Jean Marais]

As to the floor...that should be fine, as long as the boundry condition is
set to outdoors. This is known as an external floor and is common as the
first floor of a highrise on parts of the perimeter zones.

Doors are a bit more tricky. You could split your wall into 4 sections, the
middle one being the "door" and assign this surface the door
properties...or you could draw a window and try replicate door properties.
