modelThermalZones
Extends from IBPSA.Fluid.FMI.ExportContainers.ThermalZones (Partial block to export a model of multiple thermal zones as an FMU).
Information
This example demonstrates how to export a model that contains two thermal zones with convective heat input from the HVAC system only. The thermal zones are connected to an adaptor so that they can be coupled to an air-based HVAC system.
The example extends from
IBPSA.Fluid.FMI.ExportContainers.ThermalZones
which provides
the input and output signals that are needed to interface
the acausal thermal zone models with causal connectors of FMI.
The instance theZonAda is the thermal zone adaptor
that contains on the right a fluid port, and on
the left signal ports which are then used to connect at
the top-level of the model to signal ports which are
exposed at the FMU interface.
