Modelling Ice Rink on DesignBuilder or Energy Plus

Hi,

I've been working on modelling an ice rink for a project lately on DesignBuilder.

I thought I can modelize the ice layer by a block, then cool it at -7°C.

Until here, everything worked, but when you check the temperature of the floor and ceiling of the ice block, they are at 10-20°C.

I'm searching to get a whole block with the same temperature everywhere (from the floor to the roof). Can anyone, please, advice me with any ideas to get to that model?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
