Modelling large spaces
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 10:58 am
Hello,
I am modelling a large sports hall with a domed roof. I understand that to get better results I should separate it to zones.
1. Do I need to physical separate it? ie in modelit through divide spaces (without partitions)? I am asking becuase it is taking the computer a long time to divide the space... Perhaps there is another way to assign thermal zones in a large space.
2. Initially I just multiplexed the same space 6 times to count for the 6 units in the zone- will that work?
PS- There was an entry from 2008 about modelling sports halls and auditoriums. In the quote below, the link doesn't work. It would be good to have the article.

Thanks,"This is a common question and we usually advise to divide the space vertically as you have suggested.
Some more info on this and reasoning is covered in the knowledge base article http://www2.iesve.com/Support/Knowledge ... sectionId=".
