Hello everyone;
I read what Chris had suggested about simulating PCMs and trying to do it. I got some errors. Here is the file.

Thank you

Hi Amir,
In addition to the string you plugged into additionalStrings, you’d have to define a few more E+ classes for the simulation to run correctly.
Specifically:
HeatBalanceAlgorithm - the Algorithm must be set ConductionFiniteDifference
an additional Class:
HeatBalanceSettings:ConductionFiniteDifference(If I remember correctly, the default settings were fine)
I coded some components that automatically concatenated these strings, but I can’t remember where I placed them. I’ll see if I can find them.
Found them.
I haven’t touched them in a long time but I think they still work.
Do note though that I did those as an exercise/attempt to understand the legacy code so they’re not fully integrated into HB.

Hello! I’m also currently working on a related research, for the energy calculation of pcm I can’t solve it at the moment, can you give me your file to study it please? I’m downloading it now and it’s not working anymore.
Hi Pin,
I am currently working on a PCM material modeling scenario for energy efficiency and thermal comfort studies. I would like to inquire if you have already updated the component you created earlier.
Thank you!
