[EnergyPlus_Support] FW: [bldg-sim] Corner heat loss

[Christian Struck <Christian.Struck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

> Vic,
> 
> we solved some issues on thermal bridging by using FLOVENT (Flomerics)
> before. Reasonably easy to get into and a nice post processor.
> I could also suggest Airpak (Fluent); as far as I know one of the less
> expensive codes available; even so I only had a trial on it so far. Both
> packages are specific HVAC applications rather than general purpose
> CFD-codes. Main difference is, Airpak is much younger than Flovent but
> works with unstructured mesh whilst Flovent uses a structured mesh with
> the facility (Release 4.1) to localise the mesh in areas of concern.
> 
> Since we are talking about 3d models and temperature distribution you are
> bound to CFD codes rather than DTM (Dynamic thermal modelling) software.
> I would appreciate more comments on Vic's issue!
> 
> Many thanks!
