<p class=MsoNormal>Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I started using the Type 705 Slab component and I found
something that look like an error, unless I misunderstand something.<span
style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I created a simple project with the slab itself, not
connected to anything, because my aim is simply <b>to plot the deep earth
temperature calculated with the Kusuda equation </b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In this project, the slab height is 0.1m deep, and the deep
earth for the soil is 1m deep. So the total depth of the soil is 1.1m.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When I plot it against an independent Kusuda calculator
(Type77) <b>for the same depth</b>, I don’t find the same curves/results<b>.</b>
(see attached project<span style='color:#1F497D'> </span>+ don’t forget to save
the .pipe in the project folder)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I made sure the soil properties are the same in both
component.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is there really something wrong or do I miss something
there?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
