[TRNSYS-users] Does a FE-wall element exist?

[David BRADLEY]

Christian,
   I have been working recently on a finite difference wall model but 
unfortunately it is not ready for public distribution. However, usually 
the best way to treat thin walls in Type56/TRNBuild is to neglect their 
ability to store energy and to treat them as a purely thermally 
resistive wall. You can define them simply as a massless layer and 
specify only the material's thermal resistance.
kind regards,
  David
