Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Node Grid setting with the CondFD solution algorithm

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The answer to his question is that he has to look 
at the eio file.  That contains the layer and 
node information for the wall constructions.

The node temperatures  appear in order on the 
"CondFD Nodal Temperatures" report, and the 
eio  file tells how many nodes there are in each 
layer so it is easy to coordinate the node 
temperatures with their locations in the 
layers.  Nodes are located at the layer surfaces, 
and equally spaced through the layer.
