Glazing in FDS

[AMA]

Hello and a very good day to all 

I would like to ask about Glazing In FDS6. 

how to build it ?

thank you 

[Randy McDermott]

I don't understand what you mean.  What is "glazing"?  Like pottery?

If you are new to FDS, then you first need to read the manual guides, glazing would require a pyrolysis model set up correctly.

If you mean glazing, as in windows, it's easy. 

1. Create a material "glass" with the thermophysical properties of glass. 
2. Create a surface "window" that specifies the thickness of the window and makes reference to the material "glass". You can also make it almost transparent, and give it a blueish colour for a glass-like appearance.
   
3. Create obstructions to represent the glass and apply the surface property "window". If you are importing a 3D CAD or Revit file the windows are usually grouped as "glazing".

See the example below.

&MATL ID='GLASS',

      SPECIFIC_HEAT=0.84,

      CONDUCTIVITY=0.76,

      DENSITY=2700.0/

&SURF ID='WINDOW',

      RGB=102,255,255,

      TRANSPARENCY=0.2,

      MATL_ID(1,1)='GLASS_MATL',

      MATL_MASS_FRACTION(1,1)=1.0,

      THICKNESS(1)=0.005,

      GEOMETRY='CARTESIAN',

      LENGTH=0.0,

      WIDTH=0.0/

The lines describing the surface should have been,

&SURF ID='WINDOW',

      RGB=102,255,255,

      TRANSPARENCY=0.2,

      MATL_ID(1,1)='GLASS_MATL',

      MATL_MASS_FRACTION(1,1)=1.0,

      THICKNESS(1)=0.005/

Thank you very much
