Re: GBlist: Modelling
In a message dated 97-08-04 11:45:54 EDT, you write:
<< Has anyone had any experience working with CANMET/ENERMODAL's Frame4 and
Frame plus software - can it effectively model impedance or potential
for condensation at any point in an assembly and how adaptable is it for
applying a variety of exterior or interior environmental conditions.
Thanks for any information, also are there any linux users running esp-r
thanks,

John,
You are in luck. There is a slew of people out there using FRAME daily in
the determination of NFRC ratings. Contact NFRC at 301-586-NFRC and ask for
a list of accredited simulation laboratories. Also, the good folk at LBNL
have spent a lot of "energy" evaluating the FRAME two-dimensional node model
as to how well it quantifies three-dimensional phenomena. You may want to
look into one of the 3-D tools for more detailed evaluation.
Good Luck!
