Predicted mean vote

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I was having some trouble in simulating a thermal comfort study. Is there a way to predict how the predicted mean vote (PMV) variable would respond when subjected to certain boundary conditions. I have my problem set up similar to the example tutorial for human thermal comfort study but the results always seem to indicate that the occupants are too cold or too hot. Apart from a trial and error method, is there a way I can predict how the PMV would respond?

Thank You.

Hi,

This is a good question and one which I can not help with too much right now. There is no setup adaption with CFD yet so trial and error is the only approach right now. Can I suggest though that you log a request in the Idea Station here: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Simulation-CFD-IdeaStation/idb-p/82
