<span style='font-family:Verdana'><span style='font-size:12px'>Thank you for your help.<br /> 
I can not buy any of your model right now since I'm still in internship :)<br /> 
But I'll remember that.<br /> 
<br /> 
Do you know any way to do that approximately and free ?<br />

Thanks<br />

                        We sell several ground coupling models in our TESS Libraries that were created to do exactly as you suggest.  Refer to the TRNSYS website for more information on these models (<a href="www.trnsys.com" target="_blank">www.trnsys.com</a>).  As you point out, the ground coupling in standard TRNSYS is designed for slab on grade construction.<br />

                                                                <br /> 
                                                                For the first time I am modeling a building with two underground levels.<br /> 
                                                                So, I am wondering how I can model the surrounding soil, and even the ground floor, since it is not at the "altitude 0" like usually in the Trnsys Soil Noding plugin.<br /> 
                                                                <br /> 
                                                                Do you have any feedback on that kind of models ?<br /> 
                                                                Maybe the </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Soil Noding plugin is too unadapted for that purpose ?<br /> 
                                                                <br /> 
                                                                I guess I can choose a constant boundary condition for the floor, which is about 6 m deep, but as for the vertical walls, I am more dubious about approximations... </span></span><br /> 
                                                                <br /> 
                                                                Thanks for sharing your experience,<br /> 
                                                                Damien</span></span><br />
