[TRNSYS-users] Stability criteria not fullfilled

[leen peeters]

Truong,
you can use that approach, but make sure that you adapt both the
conductivity and the thermal capacity. As long as you do not use active
layers, you should be OK.
Splitting your wall into two walls of 20 cm thickness is indeed another
options you can try
