WindowProperty:FrameAndDivider IDD missing either required-field or default value #9344

Open jmarrec opened 2 years ago

jmarrec commented 2 years ago

Issue overview

Frame Conductance should be either \required-field or have a default. Currently it's read as 0.0 if not supplied

WindowProperty:FrameAndDivider,
   [...]
    N4 , \field Frame Conductance
         \units W/m2-K
         \type real
         \minimum 0.0
         \note Effective conductance of frame
         \note Excludes air films
         \note Obtained from WINDOW 5 or other 2-D calculation

Additionally, these two should be integers not real

  N10, \field Number of Horizontal Dividers
-      \type real
+      \type integer
       \minimum 0
       \default 0
       \note "Horizontal" means parallel to local window X-axis
  N11, \field Number of Vertical Dividers
-      \type real
+      \type integer
       \minimum 0
       \default 0
       \note "Vertical" means parallel to local window Y-axis
