airpak常见问题问与答（一）建模基础 TOC \o 1-3 \h \z \u 1) My model is very complicated, what is the best way to build it ? 3 2) How can I simplify my model? 3 3) How often shall I save? 3 4) I am making models with only small changes between them, shall I save them under different names or get different solutions under the same name? 3 5) My area of interest is not surrounded by walls on all sides, is it OK to use the room walls or should I put openings on these walls? 4 6) Should I include the effect of gravity in my model? 4 7) Should I include the effect of radiation in my model? 4 8) The calculation for the view-factor matrix is taking too long, what is happening? 5 9) How do I decide whether the flow is turbulent or laminar? 5 10) Is is easier to import a model from a CAD package or construct the model inside Airpak? 5 11) What are the CAD package files I can import into Airpak? 5 12) What units should I use? 6 13) How do I take the effect of elevation into account? 6 14) My model is symmetric but my solution is not, what is the reason? 6 15) What is a typical magnitude of flow velocity due to (pure) natural convection? 6 16) Can I predict condensation in a room? 6 17) My Airpak jobs are taking up too much disk space, what should I do? 7 18) How can I free-up disk space without deleting model, mesh and postprocessing files? 7 19) What are the three most essential files of an Airpak model? 7 20) What does pack and unpack mean? 7 21) How do I print out an Airpak model? 7 22) Where do I define my units? 8 23) How do I run a time-dependent or unsteady simulation? 8 24) What are initial conditions? 8 25) What is the Minimum object separation? 8 26) What is the meaning of Radiation temperature on the Problem/Setup menu? 9 27) My Airpak model is so cluttered, what should I do to see the model more clearly? 9 28) How can I suppress the view of objects in Airpak? 9 29) Sometimes the dimensions of o
