Modeling glass and steel

[Jennifer Myers]

I would like to model glass and steel. I see a basic procedure outlined in a previous post to help model metal panels. Can the same procedure be used for steel and glass?
Also, when materials like glass, steel and air are modeled it seems that the moisture content results of these materials should not be used. Can the dewpoint and temperature graphs be considered correct for these materials, though? If not, how far past the interface of the materials should be used for more true results?

Yes i would suggest this procedure. Delete the liquid transport coefficients and also the moisture storage function.

If the thermal properties are set properly, i think yes. In this case i would also decrease the porosity. But be sure not to run in to many convergence problems; look at the moisture balances
