[THERM 7.6 Command Line]

Hi there,

I am working with THERM 7.6 command line, trying to streamline the process from drafting tools to THERM simulation of window/curtain wall systems.

I know that the glazing systems are not really defined in .thmx file. I tried to generate polygons representing the glass, air cavities, exterior/interior boundary conditions and glazing cavity surfaces from Glazing Report generated in Window, in the same format as the .thmx file generated by THERM on save.

Everything is imported in the final calculated .thm file, except for the glazing cavity surfaces, which overrides the surface temperature as I understand it. This resulted in a much lower interior surface temperature across the section. 

I would like to know if there is any way that I can get the surface imported? Or if there is any other workarounds to simulate glazing system correctly using command line tools. 

Thank you very much.

Chenyu
