Modelica.Units.SI.LengthwROverhang width right to the window, measured from the window corner

Revisions

  • July 5, 2012, by Michael Wetter:
    Changed definitions of wL and wR to be measured from the corner of the window instead of the centerline. This allows changing the window width without having to adjust the overhang parameters.
  • May 21, 2012, by Kaustubh Phalak:
    Removed gap > 0 as a necessary condition. There can be an overhang with no gap.
  • March 5, 2012, by Michael Wetter:
    First implementation.
