[TRNSYS-users] small mass flow in TABS

[David BRADLEY]

Karol,

   I do not think that the problem with the matrix inversion and the low 
flow rate in the active layer are necessarily related. I'm not sure what 
to suggest about the matrix inversion. The active layer model has a 
minimum allowable flow rate that is based on pipe spacing, the thickness 
of the layer(s) in which the pipes are embedded and the area of the 
floor. If you want to give a lower flow rate then you need to segment 
the floor, which means treating the floor like it was a few floors in 
series. Enter the desired minimum mass flow rate in the active layer 
definition screen. If it is below the minimum "allowed" mass flow rate 
then you'll have the option to segment the floor.

kind regards,

  David
