Slate Stone Wall - Suitable Alternative Material File

Post by Jambrose »

Hello all,

I am trying to model a uk lake district slate stone wall, hopefully I have attached a picture, I have searched through the wufi database and while I could find plenty of sandstone and limestone files, I could not see anything similar to slate.

Does anyone have any suggestions or advise?

Josh

Hi Josh,
for slate we do not have any material data - maybe use something like lime stone or something like that.
You could do a worst case assessment assuming that only the mortar can transport moisture throughout the wall and model it only from mortar.
