WUFI

Thomas - thank you for taking the time to explain further.

Your response clarifies all.

Best wishes

Thanks Christian - been trying to understand what happens to a wall assembly under ISO 9705 testing...called the full room test because you line a 3.6 x 2.4 x2.4m room and turn on the burner. Temp vary a fair bit, but at the hot end they can reach 1000C. Been are really useful learning experience, e...

Ahh! Thank you learned person :D ...but one more question please. The "Temp Transport Calc" simulation appears to run ok, but when I add "Moisture Transport Calc" the temp outcomes appear not to respond? Is this because the temp range (up to 1000) is outside the accepted range fo...

Hello Thomas - an erudite answer as always...thank you. But I am still a bit :? Does this mean that the temp values shown on the "Thermal Conductivity, temperature dependent" table and graph are determined by the method of calculation: 1 "Mean value" = temp values are mean values...

Guten morgen Fraunhofer people :) I have been researching temperature effects on thermal conductivity of building materials (paper released by Building Science Corp in US), and this led me to to have a look at the option for temp effects on thermal conductivity. Available thermal conductivity data s...

Guten morgen Fraunhofer people :) I have been using a kli file to simulate wall performance using fire test data. The test runs for 20 minutes and records temp at 5 second intervals. A couple of questions please: 1 KLI file inputs - is the time sequence 0.00, 0.05.....0.55, 0.60 etc or 0.55, 1.00, 1...

Danke Christrian - for the detailed response...much appreciated, was , now

Best wishes to everyone from the far side of the world, James

Hello Manfred - Thank you for your response, I hope you are enjoying America. I am trying to make sure I understand "how wufi thinks 8) For example (for concrete), if I only use Temp/RH data because the slab is covered above, can I leave Liquid Trans Coeff settings as they are because there is ...

G'day Christian- thanks for your reply... :D To check that I understand...if there is no sun or rain exposure (building above) can I just use Temp and RH data for the Boundary Conditions and leave the Liquid Transport Coeff as they are for Concrete wc=0.5. That is, if I don't provide data, does WUFI...

Guten morgen Fraunhofer 8) I have read all the concrete posting I can find, but have a question about the transition from 1) to 2) below. 1) Initial drying - for site poured concrete, in one posting using RH=97% approx as the Initial Conditions and "Concrete w/c 0.5" was suggested. 2) Ongo...

Thank you Christian

G'day Christian - apologies for the confusion, the suspended concrete slab has an open carpark below and an office above - it is not connected to the ground.

Thanks, James

...opps forgot to tick the "notify me" box...

Good morning I have read Christian's comments below and would like to check that I am modelling a first floor suspended concrete slab in an office building correctly (ground = unenclosed car parking, storeys above = office space). I am use three stages: 1) Pour to 3 month - to allow for some constru...

Hello Thomas - good to hear from you...and thank you for the detailed response.
