For external wall exterior surface, can I set the boundary condition to be constant temperature? for apache simulation.
Thanks and Regards

Re: Constant temperature boundary condition setting
A little more for everyone else in the chance it might help.
In Apache:-
- select the room
- go down 1 level
- select the wall
- go down 1 level
- switch to adjacency mode
- hit the query button (got to be a betterword... 'properties' jumps out)
- Select 'temp from profile'
- et voila
now, notes:
1) you need to have defined the profile first
2) It has to be a value (or absolute) profile
3) The wall must be exposed (external)

Is that "edit multiple adjacence" exist in VE5.9.2, please?geshen516 wrote:Just find the solution:Apache -> edit multiple adjacencegeshen516 wrote:For external wall exterior surface, can I set the boundary condition to be constant temperature? for apache simulation.

Re: Constant temperature boundary condition setting
Hi,
The edit multiple adjacency button didn't exist in 5.9.2. You can still edit the boundary/adjacency condition but it will take a bit longer as you will have to do it for each surface individually.
1. Select the room in apache
2. go down a level of decomposition (blue down arrow) and select the surface
3. go down another level and change the dropdown from opening to adjacency
4. select the adjacency and click the query button on the apache toolbar
5. edit the adjacency
It's much easier in 6.0 (upgrade now if you can) but still possible in 5.9.2.

Re: Constant temperature boundary condition setting
Does this also work for modelling internal walls as well?
Or solely external wall conditions?
Thanks in advance!
