Hello,

I am mechanical engineer. I am trying to complete Hospital Room tutorial in Solidworks Flow Simulations. I don`t know how to activate Calculate Comfort Parameters in Calculation Control Options. After selecting Calculate Local Mean Age (LMA) check box, Calculate Comfort Parameters check box didn`t apear below Calculate Local Mean Age (LMA) field (attached picture). Can you tell me who to resolve problem?



Thanks.

Hi milasko,
you should have the HVAC parameters if you check in the general settings or during the wizard run for "absorption in solids" or "spectrum" in radiation settings for the analysis types. If this is not present then you don't have the module to calculate with these functions.

Dear Boris,

I tryed activating "Heat conduction in solids" option in General Settings, but I still don`t have HVAC parameters. Can you tell me is there any way to activate or install HVAC module?

Hi milasko,
the HVAC module is always installed and only activated with the correct license. I cannot tell how to identify it in the SW license, you should contact your SW support for that.

And it is not in "Heat conduction in solids", it is in the option "Radiation" where you should find an additional option called "Spectrum" and "Absorption in solids". These two options are only available with the HVAC module.

Hello Boris.

I resolved my problem by installing a new Solidworks 2012.Now I have Confor Parameters.

Best regards

Ok, I assumed you have the version of SW in which the HVAC Module is released. since you were talking about it.
