E+ and CFD - RoomAir:TemperaturePattern:UserDefined

Hello,

Upon reading the EnergyPlus IO reference I came across this object.

From its description I gather that this a sort of post-processing object, using results the user might have (most obvious source stated is CFD).

Unfortunately, my level on E+ scripts is begginer at best and the description provided in the reference isn't really illuminating.

From what I gather, the CFD results could be inputed in the form of a temperature stratification using a lookup table (perhaps with nonDimensionalHeight object?). But I really can't be sure.

I wonder if anyone here has had any experience using these objects to connect outside data (e.g. CFD results) with E+.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards, Theodore.
