Hi everbody!<br>
<br>
I have a question concerning the active layer. While I was trying to
implement active layers in a building structure, compiling the .bui
file I got the following message:<br>
<br>
"The min. desired inlet mass flowrate is smaller than the min. allowed
inlet mass flowrate.<br>
You may use autosegmentation<br>
MinflowCalc=11.0326<br>
MFLOWMIN=10"<br>
<br>
I thought MFLOWMIN was calculated from the piping features (diameter,
length), in order to avoid transition to laminar flow, as it sounded
reasonable, is it correct?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So I tried to change the MinflowCalc from 10 to 11 in the specification
window of the surface in the building model (TRNBUILD).<br>
Then, when I compile it the second time I get the same message:<br>
<br>
"The min. desired inlet mass flowrate is smaller than the min. allowed
omòet mass flowrate.<br>
You may use autosegmentation<br>
MinflowCalc=11.05...<br>
MFLOWMIN=11"<br>
<br>
What do MFLOWMIN and MinflowCalc mean? Does MinflowCalc depend only on
geometrical features?<br>
Can anyone help me in setting these features correcly?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance<br>
Filippo.<br>
