fatal - unexpected EOF in header_dctimestep

Hello,

I am trying to finish The Three-phase Method, but, now I have problems with
/dctimestep/. I put all files together:
.vmx
.xml
.dmx
.skv

However, /fatal - unexpected EOF in header/ message scripts:

  C:\Radiance\test\TheThree-PhaseMethodSimulatingCFS_A-McNeil\Example1\All>dctimes
  tep results/photocells.vmx data/singleclear.xml results/south.dmx
skies/12_21_15
  .skv | rcalc -e "$1=179*($1*0.265+$2*0.670+$3*0.065)" >
results/illum_122115_cle
  ar.dat
  fatal - unexpected EOF in header

Does anyone know what happen?
Thanks in advance!
Kin regards,
Urtza.

I may have missed this part, but can you share the commands you used to generate the matrices?

Hi Robert,

The commands that I used to generate the matrices are:
  C:\Radiance\test\TheThree-PhaseMethodSimulatingCFS_A-McNeil\Example1\Viewmatrix>
  rcontrib -f klems_full.cal -b kbinS -bn Nkbins -m windowglow -I+ -ab 2 -ad
512 -
  lw 2e-5 model_vmx.oct < sensorpoints.pts > results/photocells.vmx

singleclear.xml file I get from WINDOW 7.3

C:\Radiance\test\TheThree-PhaseMethodSimulatingCFS_A-McNeil\Example1\Daylight
Ma
   >perl c:/radiance/bin/genklemsamp.pl -vd 0 -1 0 window.rad | rcontrib
-c 100
   0 -e MF:4 -f reinhart.cal -b rbin -bn Nrbins -m sky_glow -faf
model_dmx.oct > re
   sults/south.dmx

(I do not use in the Sky definition sky_glow name, that is suspicious I
think. I put skyfunc:
    void brightfunc skyfunc
    2 skybr skybright.cal
    0
    3 2 2.29e-001 3.56e-002

     skyfunc glow ground_mat

     4 1 1 1 0

     0
     4 0 0 -1 180
)

      gensky 12 21 15 | perl c:\Radiance\bin\genskyvec.pl -m 4 -c 1 1 1 >

Do not hesitate to ask me if you need more information.
Thanks!

Hi Urtza,

I think you are right to suspect that you need to change the -m option parameter sky_glow to sky_mat with the change in your file. Otherwise, I think your results in "south.dmx" might be missing. What is the size of this file, and does it contain any data?

It's also untrustworthy to use binary file times under Windows. I would remove the "-faf" option to rcontrib for that reason.

Cheers,

Oh yeah, floats are a no go with Windows, at least with this stuff. Definitely use "-faa" instead of "-faf" when specifying the format...

Hi guys,
Thank you very much! That was a problem, now it works.
Best wishes!
