Detailed Description
Defines a wall/floor/ceiling construction instance.
A ConstructionInstance contains all information about a wall and possibly embedded objects like windows.
Note that the area parameter stores the gross area of the wall, including all embedded objects. Naturally, their area must not exceed the wall area. A window area that is equal to the wall area is interpreted as a wall consisting of only windows without a construction behind.
Each construction instance stores its surface information inside interface data structures for side A and side B. Side A is besides construction layer with index 0. By default, an interface has no boundary condition information (model types are set to undefined) and hence no fluxes are calculated. There must be at least one interface with valid boundary condition parametrization for a construction instance to be valid. Not referenced wall constructions will still be calculated, as they may serve as storage medium or provide sensor data. However, if not needed, they should be removed to improve performance.

Member Function Documentation
◆ checkParameters()
| NANDRAD_READWRITE NANDRAD_COMPARE_WITH_ID void NANDRAD::ConstructionInstance::checkParameters | ( | const Project & | prj | ) |
Checks for valid parameters and stores quick-access pointer to associated construction type.
Material and ConstructionType objects have already been checked for correctness.
- Note
- This function throws an exception if invalid parameters are defined, parameters are missing, or the construction type ID is invalid/unknown.
◆ behavesLike()
| bool NANDRAD::ConstructionInstance::behavesLike | ( | const ConstructionInstance & | other | ) | const |
A special form of comparison operator: tests if the construction would yield the same results as the other construction when being simulated.
The test checks for:
- same construction type ID
- interface objects for locations A and B result in same behavior
◆ interfaceAZoneID()
| unsigned int NANDRAD::ConstructionInstance::interfaceAZoneID | ( | ) | const |
If a valid interface parameter block exists at side A, this function returns the references zone ID, otherwise 0.
Use this function to check if there is an actual zone (not the outside) connected at this interface.
◆ interfaceBZoneID()
| unsigned int NANDRAD::ConstructionInstance::interfaceBZoneID | ( | ) | const |
If a valid interface parameter block exists at side B, this function returns the references zone ID, otherwise 0.
Use this function to check if there is an actual zone (not the outside) connected at this interface.
