Graph of air-tight, infiltration and indoor air convection

Hi there,
Could you please help me to find line graphs of air-tight, infiltration and indoor air convection in WUFI? In one paper I saw this graph and I attached it here for your reference. Also, this is the link of mentioned paper:

Modeling the Effect of Air Leakage in Hygrothermal Envelope SImulation

Thanks

Dear Mohsen,

I do not understand the questions.
Steps to reproduce would be:
- Model the construction with the boundary conditions in WUFI.
- See the course of the water content of the wooden sheathing.

For help how to do that, see our tutorial "Handling of typical constructions":

Dear Mohsen,

there are no "line graphs of air-tight, infiltration and indoor air convection" in WUFI. The diagram shows the changes of the water content in the OSB board (one component of the simulated construction). After a simulation has finished, you can access diagrams of this water content either in the Quick Graphs (in the project tree on the left side of the screen):

Quick Graph > Water Content in Layer > OSB Board [or whatever the actual name of the layer is in your construction]

or in the result graphs, accessible via the menu:

Outputs > Result Graphs > Water Content of Individual Materials.

Furthermore, you can export a water content curve as numerical data to do your own processing or plotting of the data:

Outputs > ASCII-Export > Water Content: OSB Board [or whatever the actual name of the layer is in your construction].


In the diagram you posted, the labels "air-tight", "infiltration" and "indoor air convection" refer to different settings used in the simulations, and the diagram compares the courses of the water content in the OSB board which result under these different conditions.

Regards,
Thomas
