[TRNSYS-users] Different ROOF Types

Meriem,
   A curved roof should be modeled by an equivalent faceted roof. There 
is no need to have too many facets. In my opinion an octagon in place of 
a circle is sufficient for modeling purposes.

   The libraries of existing roof, wall, and floor constructions can be 
viewed in TRNBuild. You can also open those files (located 
in..\Trnsys17\Building\Lib\...\Prgwall.lib) using a text editor such as 
Notepad.

kind regards,
  David
