Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Some questions about the PreProcess slab.exe

[wei xiao <basill_xw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your help.
I just see your answer. I am clear about the problem now. Thanks again.
And from my understanding of the  documentation on the slab program,I found we must choose the quivslab to calculate the ground temperature, don't we ?

 documentation on the slab program (PDF Auxiliary Programs, pg 
 92ff.  However, I am not an expert in this area.
 
 If you choose the equivslab option, then you can enter the Area to 
 perimeter ratio and select TRUE for the equivalent slab option.  you 
 then enter more parameters with the EquivAutoGrid option.  you 
 apparently do not need to enter the full area of the building/slab.
 
 If you choose not to enter the Equivslab option, then you enter the 
 Autogrid option with the Length and Width dimensions of your slab.
