CFT123 New Member Join Date: Oct 2014 Posts: 7 Rep Power: 12	Dear all, I am trying to model several buildings with conduction, convection and radiation (solar calculator). I find that I have no problem simulating convection and radiation. However when I introduce conduction into the simulation. temperatures on the building surface continue to rise throughout the day into the night. Anybody have any ideas ? what I am doing wrong? Ive tried everything include changing mesh, radiation model, turbulence model, time step.... any help is much appreciated regards CFT
