2022-11-08 15:11:23 -0500 marked best answer Different Space Discretization Constant per material layer

The Engineering Reference discusses the constant "C" under Basic Finite Difference Solution Approach and specifically says:

> As of version 7, the value of this constant can be controlled by the user with the input field called Space Discretization Constant in the HeatBalanceSettings:ConductionFiniteDifference input object. The discretization method allows CondFD to assign different node spacing or grid size to different material layers in a wall or roof, as building walls and roofs typically consist of several layers of different materials having different thermal properties.

How can this setting be applied to a specific layer? I only could set this for the entire model (all material layers), which extends runtimes significantly. I would like to set this for only one (thinner) layer for project.

I was afraid that this was an unintended mis-phrasing of the specific section that I cited. I noticed the other passages

Similar, but not necessarily the same. I clearly identified the cause of the crash, which is not the same as a long load

2022-09-26 09:22:49 -0500 asked a question When using OpenStudio Results DVIEW cannot read SQL file

When using OpenStudio Results DVIEW cannot read SQL file I'm using OpenStudio Version 1.4.0+ based on SDK version 3.4.0.

The characters in the file path can definitely be one issue - noticed this with one of my simulations too. However, for
