.AixLib.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.LoadAggregation.temperatureResponseMatrix

Information

This function uses the parameters required to calculate the borefield's thermal response to build a SHA1-encrypted string unique to the borefield in question. Then, if the forceGFunCalc input is true or if there is no .mat file with the SHA1 hash as its filename in the tmp/temperatureResponseMatrix folder, the thermal response will be calculated and written as a .mat file. Otherwise, the thermal response will simply be read from the .mat file. In the .mat file, the data is saved in a matrix with the name TStep, where the first column is the time (in seconds) and the second column is the temperature step response, which is the g-function divided by 2 π H k_soi, with H being the borehole length and k_soi being the thermal conductivity of the soil.
