Buildings.Rooms.FLEXLAB.Data.Constructions.OpaqueConstructions.DividingWalls.CellAndElectricalDividingWall

Information

This is a construction of a dividing wall commonly found in FLEXLAB test cells. It is used to divide one test cell from another (cell A and cell B) as well as separate the test cell from the connected electrical room.
