Straw Bale

Post by mwperry »

Hi,

I am trying to make a custom External Wall material in order to analyse a building with Straw Bale walls.

Ideally I would like it to be timber frame with straw bale infill, but if I can only make it completely straw that will do.

I want the wall to have a U-value of 0.12W/m2K, but I am not sure where I can customise the Uvalue when making a custom wall. Any help would be gratefully received.

Martin.

Hey Martin

In Apache go to Apache construction database, External walls, then right click new construction. Then you can make your own construction.
