Ground Domain

Construction tab in model data under Construction header

If the site level Include ground domains checkbox was ticked then an option will be available on the Constructions tab for surfaces in contact with the ground and also at building, block and zone levels for setting defaults.

Define ground domain

Select the type of ground domain that the surface is in contact with from the list:

• 1-No ground domain - the surface is not in contact with a ground domain. Instead the conditions on the other side of the surface are defined using the default ground temperature mechanism using Ground monthly temperatures.
• 2-Slab - the horizontal surface is in contact with a slab ground domain object.
• 3-Basement - the underground surface is in contact with a basement ground domain object.
