Steel beams in wall constructions in Openstudio model
Hi,
I am confused as to how I can model a wall that is surrounded by steel I beams in Openstudio. I have found the correct components for the wall itself.
My questions is: Is it possible to integrate the steel I beams in the wall construction or do I have to draw the steel beams in my model and assign them to 'steel' component? Also is it actually worth it? (the building has a I Beam steel structure) Here's a rough sketch of my wall
Thank you for your help!
Here's a photo of one of the walls of the building

I'm having trouble getting the big picture of how your wall construction is actually like. Steel has a very high thermal conductivity, so I'd say that it's really critical you take it into account iif it's creating a thermal bridge.
@Julien Marrec, Ok thanks. To give you a bit of context: - The building is in Thailand - It is a three story buidling with a steel I beam skeleton
I've edited my question to show a picture of one of the walls of the building.
My question still remains, how would I model this in Openstudio?
Ah yes now I understand!
