dctimestep fatal error

Dear expert,

I am working with the new 3-phase method arrangement. At the last step,
when I try to run dctimestep for the annual simulation I got an error: "*fatal
– unexpected EOF reading Bolzano.smx"*

Here my command:

dctimestep -n 8760 data/window_up.vmx data/bsdf/cfs.xml data/window_up.dmx
bolzano.smx > results.dat

All the matrices seems to have the right dimensions for the multiplication:

SMX (NCOMP=3, NROWS=146, NCOLS=8670)

DMX (NCOMP=3, NROWS=145, NCOLS=146)

BSDF (145x145)

VMX (NCOMP=3, NROWS=16, NCOLS=145)

Last thing, If I use h=r1 for in the sky definition in the receiver (as
shown in the Andy’s presentation at last Radiance workshop) I got a
warning: "bad bin number (ignored)”

Where I am getting wrong?

Thanks in advance,
*Giuseppe *

If you have a header in your bolzano.smx file, you should not use the -n option, which implies no header. This is a new "feature" of dctimestep to simplify operation and make it more consistent with the behavior of other tools. The default output of gendaymtx now produces a header, unless the -h option is used.

As for the bad bin number, the latest HEAD should report the number being ignored. There may have been other fixes to the software since then, however, and it would be a good idea to get current with the latest HEAD. If you get the error again, at least it will report the number so we can figure out what's happening.

Hope this helps!
-Greg

Dear Greg,

your help is always decisive! It was a question of release, now all work
fine both with dctimestep and hemisphere subdivsion.

Thanks again,
Giuseppe
