[TRNSYS-users] Adjacent surfaces not recognized with 3d plugin

[Omar Abu-Hamdeh]

Alecauser,

If Manoj's suggestion does not work, try constructing the building on another computer. Many problems can arise if the installation of trnsys and sketchup are not perfect (i.e. Changing the directory of the installation can cause problems).

Dear ​Alexander,

Many times it happens. To avoid this problem I will suggest you to construct the building project zone by zone and do the surface matching each time you construct a new zone. And also check by importing file to simulation studio.

This will be a time consuming process but ultimately you will get a correct model.

Do save idf file by different name every time you get a correct model.

I face this problem many times when the building geometry gets complex.

I hope this suggestion will work for you.

Regards,

Manoj

Dear users,

 

I’d like to know how to solve the following issue:

For some reason many adjacent walls are not recognized when loading the idf file in the trnsys wizard. I’ve seen the surfaces where the error “Adjacent wall not found” appears and I checked:

-          Object info recognizes the wall as adjacent and boundary zone is correct

-          On the matching surface recognition is OK as well

-          Areas are equal

-          Vertices are coincident

-          The idf is written as described in the sketchup interface.

-          The b17 file is the only where in those surfaces don’t appear something like “: ADJ_SURF=63 : BACK”

Not all adjacent surfaces had this problem but many do (62).

Could someone tell me how to make those walls getting recognized in trnsys?

 

Many thanks in advance,
