How to use Ground Domain object when insulation is above the slab?
It is not very uncommon to insulate the ground floor above the slab. But I can only put the insulation below the slab in the Site:GroundDomain:Slab. Does it not really matter where the insulation is location? Or should I not include the slab in the model and just put the insulation material and the screed layer as slab material?
My actual ground floor construction is as followed:
