System frame usage

Post by danylore »

Dear all,
I use VE a lot for work but rarely ApacheHVAC, usually for a time reason. Now for a new project I want to spend some time and try to setup an ApacheHVAC model to make some advanced consideration.
I'm stuck at the beginning: I want to create a system frame around a simple multiplex system heat recover + fancoils but I don't understand how to make it. I have to start from a prototype system in order to use this function? Assuming to have a frame, is it possible to resize it?

Sorry for the newbie questions but I don't find a way inside the guide.

Hi
Yes, currently you are limited to reuse of the library prototype systems.
You could replace any of the frame contents, but cannot resize the frame. (So maybe choose one of the larger frame Systems).

There are plans in the pipeline for a facility to create new system frames.
