[Virtual-sim] MicroFlo problem

[Claire Das Bhaumik]

I am trying to model the air flow throughout a low contamination
manufacturing facility using MicroFlo in IES v5.9.0.3. The facility is
around 150 metres x 60 metres and air is supplied through 274 supply
diffusers in the ceiling and then extracted through 72 louvers at low
level. There are also some ducts modelled as obstructions. 

 

I am having trouble getting any results. When I try to run, the memory
and aspect ratio look fine but then I either get an error saying that
"Surface/ component boundaries do not align with the grid" or if I
remesh a few times I eventually get it to run but the resulting
residuals are horizontal lines and I get solid grey plots if I try to
plot the results. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Claire
