referenced systemmodeler file :
In HouseHeating.mo, there appears the statement thermalConductivityTable[outerMaterial] * A to calculate the wall conductance G in any of the outerwall or innerwall blocks.
Can someone point out to me how to access the thermalConductivityTable[ ] ? I’ll need a fairly descriptive response being new to SystemModeler. Thank-you. JohnB
Hi John,
You can access the thermalConductivityTable[] using the following steps:
Open the Walls component present inside the Components package.
Open the text view (Ctrl + 3).
There you will find an array named thermalConductivityTable of type Modelica.SIunits.ThermalConductivity. This array contains conductivity factors for the materials like cotton wool, glass wool etc.
The author of HouseHeating.Components.Walls probably didn’t intended that users of the component should change the table, so therefore it’s done in such a away that it isn’t visible in the user interface by default. It’s a constant so to see it you can enable the Constants view (View > Constants).
You could also so see it directly if you switch to text view (View > Class Window > Modelica Text View or Ctrl + 3).
