Hi Mostapha,

If I add them to the custom library the addtoEPlibrary component will say it was succesfully added but then it wont appear in the callfromEPConstructionLibrary component. If I refresh the updatehoneybee component it will work just setting the data to the setEPzonecnstr, but I wanted to do a brute force run so I am assuming that after the first one the custom materials wont work. Also the solve adjacencies is not working properly. Not sure if the attached file will work.

Thanks for your help and time!

Hi Mostapha,

What do you exactly mean by adding them to the custom library? Is it an independent file where I have to add the material? (like you would do in DIVA).

This is what I have right now. I've also attached the file.

Thank you!

Blanca

Hi Mostapha,

I think something is wrong with my material definition?Thanks for your time!

Blanca,

Indeed something wrong. I don't know why you decided to use Construction:WindowEquivalentLayer for your window. I usually don't use this and right now can't check the "benefits" of it. I use a plain/normal Construction definition, assigning the material defined for the simple glazing. See attached. I left your definition as is and added mine at the end.

You forgot to internalize the geometry. I checked it with a simple rectangle as input for the initial curve.

-A.

Thank you so much Abraham,

This seems to fix the problem:) I took Construction:WindowEquivalentLayer from an example file in the forum.

Thanks again,

Blanca
