WUFI 2D Example

This introduction will show you how to model a building component in WUFI 2D, how to specify boundary, surface transfer and initial conditions, how to perform the calculation and how to analyse the results.

Weather file list for
Google Earth
new

This *.KMZ file displays the locations of the weather files registered in WUFI's database by feeding them to Google Earth (which you must have installed).
Some of these weather files are included with WUFI; the others must be purchased from the respective vendor, but they can then immediately be used for WUFI calculations, without further configuration.

A click on one of the WUFI icons will display some information about the respective weather file.
