Abstract
In thermal simulation, an approach to satisfy the diversifying simulation objectives is to provide a simulation environment that is capable to process the represented thermal system dynamically and to the desirable level of detail. In the component-based modeling approach adopted in contemporary building simulation software, the components in the plant library often cannot truly reflect the actual system performance. For some years, efforts have been place on the search for alternative simulation environment. Primitive part (PPP) modeling has been one of these efforts. It possesses most of the attributes of a desirable environment such as flexible, input-output independent, hierarchical modeling structure, detailed and unified fundamental approach. This paper describes the background of PP modeling, and the auto-connection data flow structure that facilitates the model developer to synthesize simulation components from PP sub-model through user interface.
