Dear Xavier,<br>
With a BOUNDARY wall, you have the option of defining the
temperature on the other side of the wall as "userdefined"
(either an input, a constant value, or a schedule) or as
"identical." To define an adiabatic wall, simply set the
boundary temperature to "identical"<br>
Kind regards,<br>

Is there a direct way to specify an adiabatic boundary wall in TYPE56?.
From what I could find in the documentation, only boundary walls with a
boundary temperature may be deffined. In principle setting a very small
wall convection coefficient (HBACK) would fisically lead to an adiabatic
condition, but from the manual it seems it leads to the oposite (wall
temperature equal to boudary temperature). Two aproximations I can think
of are to specify the identical condition, in which case an adiabatic
plane would apear WITHIN the wall, or specifying a layer with a very high
resistence at the outer side of the wall. But is there not a way to
specify the boundary adiabatic condition straight?<br>
