Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community
 | 1 | initial version |
DesignBuilder has a CFD module that is coupled to EnergyPlus. You can import DesignBuilder EnergyPlus simulation outputs at the selected simulation time-step and feed them into the CFD calculation as boundary conditions for surface temperatures, opening airflows etc. You need to select the results at a specific time so it isn't dynamic/automatic but the import process is automated once selected. There is a webinar on the DesignBuilder website (Training > Online Learning > Webinars) that shows the basic process.
