<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
