Dear all,
I have tried to use the GenCumulativeSky.exe programme made available through
Diva for Rhino v1.1f.
When I ran the programme on a DOS command line, it said:
···
**
Error opening: SGP_Singapore.486980_IWEC.epw
GenCumulativeSky: Error reading climate file SGP_Singapore.486980_IWEC.epw
**
I tried it with the San Francisco .epw file as well but it also didn't work.
Could anyone advise how it can be solved?
Also, may I know what it means by "hourshift" in the -h entry?
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Kam
Dear Kam,
This posting might be better suited for the DIVA-for-Rhino forum
(http://groups.google.com/group/diva-for-rhino) but maybe
GenCumulativeSky is also of interest to some on the general Radiance
list. The program was written by Darren Robinson and generated a
cumulative sky for annual or monthly radiation maps . There are similar
methods available by Francesco Anselmo and John Mardaljevic.
The program is started with:
GenCumulativeSky +s1 -a 45 -o 76 -m 75 -r -E -time 0 24 -date 1 1 12 31
epw_file > Gund_111.cal
You could try to debug your epw file from Singapore using the command
line. We are actually working on a project in Singapore right now and
the local file worked for us.
