[Equest-users] database of materials

[David Griffin]

You can also add the constructions/layers/materials to your eQuest library file (eQ_lib.dat). If you are not use to working with the library file, I suggest you confirm all constructions via a 'shoe box' model before you implement them in an actual project. I have included a sample library entry for your benefit.

Material
$LIBRARY-ENTRY Steel Wall Mat 2B Stucco        MAT             90.1 04 Steel Wall
$Steel Wall Mat 2B Stucco,
TYPE=PROPERTIES TH=0.0833 COND=0.4167 DENS=116 S-H=0.2  ..

Layer
$LIBRARY-ENTRY 90.1 Steel Framed Wall 5B Lay   LA              ETC Code Walls
 MAT=("Steel Wall Mat 5B Stucco",
         "Steel Wall Mat 5B Rigid Foam", "Steel Wall Mat 5B Vary Insul",
         "Steel Wall Mat 5B plywd 5/8", "Steel Wall Mat 5B Assembly",
         "Steel Wall Mat 5B GypBd 1/2")
 TH=( &D, &D, {.00001} )                   ..

Construction
$LIBRARY-ENTRY 90.1 Steel Framed Wall 5B Cons  CONSTRUCTION    ETC Code Walls
         TYPE = LAYERS
         LAYERS = "90.1 Steel Framed Wall 5B Lay" ..

One possible strategy could be defining Material, Layers and Construction in textpad and save as .inp file. Later based on project requirement you can actually import this to the eQuest.

Hope this helps!

Dear All,

I am new in this group.

I would like to know if it is possible to create a Database in eQuest with new constructions, materials and layers. How can I do it?

Thank you in advance.
