IDA Indoor Climate and Energy

Highlights in 5.1

Improved plant modelling

Included in the Expert edition

Plant modelling made easier and more powerful

Including is:

Points

  • A new flow node model for bi- (or uni-) directional flow paths.
  • Plug-flow and finite-difference bi-directional models for pipe network modelling for, e.g., district heating networks.
  • A new palette with selected components ordered by functionality.
  • Circuit checks allowing the user to identify modelling errors in a simpler way.
  • New user forms making it easier to find and understand the main parameters, log variables and get information about the component.
  • Product database support for several components, such as heat pumps, solar thermal collectors, and pumps.
