Therm 8.0 issues

[Ale]

Hi all,

I am trying to test Therm 8.0  (version 8.0.33) and I have noticed the following issues:

 - If I wanted to change the boundary conditions directly from the toolbar I can't do it because it's the material library that appears, so I have to open the boundary conditions dialog box to make the change:

- if I wanted to save a new Material Library or Boundary conditions library (for the Transient Thermal & moisture analysis) it seems that the commands are still not available:

Someone noticed the same?

Thank you,

Ale

Sorry,

I have forgotten something more:

- once set the "Transient Thermal + Moisture" in the Calculation Options, I  have tried to create some simple rectangles but even if I choose any material from the library at the end it is created as a Laminated panel,

- it seems that it is not possible to change the material of an element using the commands "select material + fill"

Regards,

Ale

Thank you for testing and finding these issues. 

We are working on the next version and will look at the issues you have found. 

I believe that right now it is not possible to make new materials, as you have discovered.

It is possible to make a new Material library value, as discussed in the THERM 8.0 User Manual

https://windows-downloads.lbl.gov/software/therm/Therm8-00%20User%20Manual.pdf

Starting on page 2-14, there is information about all the fields in the Material Library, and then starting on page 2-22, there is information about making new records.

Dear all

Congratulations for the initiative. I hope this software will reach a stable version soon.

I was trying to create a new material and noticed that the software crashes whenever I press on density and specific heat capacity.

I have attached a screenshot.

Please advise

We will look into this and see if we can replicate the problem. 

Thanks for reporting it.

I can reproduce the problem. 

We are actually working on THERM 8.1, which will have the same functionality but some other changes. 

We will make sure that this bug is fixed in that version, which will hopefully be available as a Beta version for testing in a month or so. 

Sorry that this probably means you won't be able to use THERM 8.0 for your modeling needs. 

Thank you for testing and providing this valuable feedback. We understand it can be very frustrating, but we appreciate the feedback.

Dear Robin

thanks for the prompt reply.

You and your team are offering an amazing alternative to other FEM modeling methods.

how can i get the an email notification when the new software version will be uploaded?

Regards

I will post a notification on this forum.
