[TRNSYS-users] Where can I find some example to couple the Type56 Multizone and Type101 Fluent?

[David BRADLEY]

Yi,
   I should start by saying that I do not have any direct experience 
with coupling TRNSYS and Fluent. However, in Type56, you can define 
gains in a zone and you can define them as having a radiative component, 
a convective component and a latent component. I would imagine that the 
coupling to which the paper refers is by defining a purely convective 
gain in the zone.
Kind regards,
  David
