We have dealt with some similar cases where there is a large
refrigerated box in the middle of a much larger zone. We simply
define two zones with the walls of the refrigerated box enclosure
being set as ADJACENT walls that separate the enclosure space from
the larger zone volume. This means that you cannot do the detailed
radiation exchange model in the larger zone (since it is no longer
convex).<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<div>Hello folks,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm trying to model a production hall containing enclosed
machines. Since I am interested in the behavoir of the hall</div>
<div>as well as the machine enclosures, I was wondering if it
is possible to define zones enclosed in other zones.</div>
<div>I tried this using the 3d-multizone builging but could
only get the simulation to work when the boundary conditions
of the machine</div>
<div>enclosures were set to "external". But I suppose that's
like defining a shading group because the zones did not
interact.</div>
<div>It feels like I'm missing a big point here, so any
pointers are appreciated.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you very much!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind regards,</div>
<div>David</div>
