Hi I am trying to simulate radiant panels using the low temperature radiant module, as mentioned above when I use aluminium panels I get the following error:
* Severe * InitConductionTransferFunctions: Found Material that is too thin and/or too highly conductive, material name = Aluminium Panel * ~~~ * High conductivity Material layers are not well supported for internal source constructions, material conductivity = 205.000 [W/m-K] * ~~~ * Material thermal diffusivity = 1.519E-004 [m2/s] * ~~~ * Material with this thermal diffusivity should have thickness > 0.52281 [m]
I am just wondering if anyone has had any luck with simulating radiant panels and can point me towards the right direction or even provide me an example file? Thanks so much
