Error when setting HeatBalanceAlgorithm to ConductionFiniteDifference for PCM in HB Model to OSM

Hi everyone,

I’m working with PCM (Phase Change Material) and I wanted to set the HeatBalanceAlgorithm to ConductionFiniteDifference (CFD).

To do this, I connected the following additional string to the “HB Model to OSM” component:

HeatBalanceAlgorithm,
ConductionFiniteDifference;

and

HeatBalanceAlgorithm,
  ConductionFiniteDifference;  !- Algorithm

However, I received this error:

1.    ** Severe  ** <root>[HeatBalanceAlgorithm] - Object should have no more than 1 properties.

I’m not sure what is causing this issue.

My goal is to correctly implement the CFD method required for modeling PCMs. Am I formatting the additional string incorrectly, or should this be set elsewhere?

Thanks in advance,
