Radiant Ceiling and Floor

Hi,

I have a model with 2 low temperature radiant systems, one on the floor and the other on the ceiling, their specific flow is different. So I can’t create just one system and associate it to the radiant surface type as CeilingsAndFloors.

I have created 2 internal source constructions, one for the floor and other for the ceiling, so I could have two systems.

However, when I run the simulation it fails, by the result of a severe error that says:

* Severe * Surface SURFACE 1 is referenced by more than one radiant system--this is not allowed

* Fatal * GetLowTempRadiantSystem: Errors found in input. Preceding conditions cause termination.

How can I define, for example, that surface 1 has the system of the floor heating, and surface 2 has the system of the ceiling heating. Thanks,
