Pre Processing
The thermal comfort wizard allows you to perform more pre-processing steps in order to get useful data from the model and prepare scenes.
Details on preparing scenes for analysis are included in the subsection called Preparing Scenes. This section covers all other pre-processing capabilities available in the Pre Processing tab.
Fluid Volume > Get Values
When you click the Fluid Volume > Get Values button, the thermal comfort wizard evaluates the fluid volume in the model and report the size of the volume in m3.
Window Settings > Get Values
Clicking the Window Settings > Get Values button reports the area of each window in the simulation. The boundaries are selected automatically based upon the standard naming conventions. A text file called window_area.dat is also written to the current working directory, which contains the window area information.
Creating All Scenes
Clicking the Create All Scenes button creates all the scenes described in the Preparing Scenes section. Each scene is created with an isometric view (-X, -Y, +Z) and a reverse isometric view (+X, +Y, -Z).
Hardcopy All TCM Scenes
Clicking the Hardcopy All TCM Scenes button creates a PNG image file of all scenes that you have created with the thermal comfort wizard. For example, if you have clicked Specific Heat Exterior and Density Exterior, then only those two scenes are exported. The image file is located in the current working directory.
