[TRNSYS-users] Wall type manager

[David BRADLEY via TRNSYS-users]

Adnan,

   TRNBuild allows you to define new materials. You can define soil by 
its density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity and then assign a 
thickness to the layer. Do not, however, define an infinitely thick 
layer of soil. The larger question, is how you will compute the 
temperature on the under side of your soil "layer." There are a number 
of options and I would recommend that you look back through the archives 
of this forum to learn about them. The most robust option (but slow to 
compute) would be to implement Type49 to compute the ground temperature 
underneath your soil layer.

kind regards,

  David
