material properties database #7

Open garylzimmer opened 6 years ago

garylzimmer commented 6 years ago

I saw a previous version had integrated a database for thermal properties of various materials but that this feature was lost in future versions. Why was this feature removed? are there plans to restore it or provide similar functionality? Thanks!

There has never been a version with a material database. It is a good idea, though.

Yes. Looking up the properties for a range of building materials and insulants is quite tedious. I used these pages which between them cover quite a lot of materials: http://www.greenspec.co.uk/building-design/insulation-materials-thermal-properties/ https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/specific-heat-solids-d_154.html https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/specific-heat-capacity-d_391.html https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/wood-density-d_40.html https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/heat-loss-transmission-d_748.html https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/thermal-conductivity-d_429.html https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/bricks-density-d_1777.html http://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/halld/diamonds/heating-10-2004/heatcap.html

Having that lot built in as examples would be very handy.
