Re: Insulated Stud Walls
Hi Manfred, Thanks for the response. The insulated steel studs will typically form the internal part of the wall and would be filled with mineral wool. In this case I believe the thermal impact is large, but the vapour resistance will be dominated by the mineral wool properties. I understand that a ...

Brick Slip System - Convergance/Balances
I am trying to model a typical UK lightweight metal wall (SFS) supporting a rail based brick slip system. I have modelled the rails as a continuous perforated metal sheet. When I run the model, I am getting nearly 1500 convergence errors and my balances are far apart (4.68 and -158.39). I attach det...

Insulated Stud Walls
Hi, I am wondering what is the best way to model a wall which comprises metal or timber studs with insulation (mineral wool or rigid foam) between each stud? So far I have effectively averaged the thermal conductivity and vapour resistance using an area weighted average, but is this the correct appr...
