| Description | Creates ZoneCapacitanceMultiplier fully configurable objects for the requested zones. If you a user needs different capacitance multiplier values for different zones, use multiple measures in a workflow and request objects for the different zone names. |
| Modeler's Description | Creates ZoneCapacitanceMultiplier fully configurable objects for the requested zones. If you a user needs different capacitance multiplier values for different zones, use multiple measures in a workflow and request objects for the different zone names.
Description of this object from the documentation:
"This object is an advanced feature that can be used to control the effective storage capacity of the zone. Capacitance multipliers of 1.0 indicate the capacitance is that of the (moist) air in the volume of the specified zone. This multiplier can be increased if the zone air capacitance needs to be increased for stability of the simulation or to allow modeling higher or lower levels of damping of behavior over time. The multipliers are applied to the base value corresponding to the total capacitance for the zone’s volume of air at current zone (moist) conditions." |
