Radiance-daysim Digest, Vol 26, Issue 4

Thanks again. I have changed the output_units from 2 to 1 in my file*.hea
and saved it. But Daysim still considering illuminance sensors. How could I
reload my file*.hea in order to Daysim can consider irradiance sensors?
Besides, I have changed the sensor_file_unit from 0 to 2, but Daysim still
considering illuminance sensors.

Many thanks

-I haven't used the new version of DIVA yet, so maybe someone else can
answer this question more detailed. I know you can go two approaches,
either you define a node in W/m*m and run an annual simulation with daysim
OR you run an irradiation map with gencumulativesky ,but I'm not sure
where to invoke the latter one in the new version.
In Rhino go to Metrics >>Daylight Grid-Based >> Daysim-Based hourly Method

Hi Abigail,

-for the solar transmissivity you can use the same equation.

-the pts-file does not contain the information about the sensor type. If
you want to change that manually, you have to do that in the header
file. Syntax please see here:
http://daysim.ning.com/page/keyword-output-units . If you have hundreds
of points, I recommend to write a script generating for you this entry
in the header-file.

-I haven't used the new version of DIVA yet, so maybe someone else can
answer this question more detailed. I know you can go two approaches,
either you define a node in W/m*m and run an annual simulation with
daysim OR you run an irradiation map with /gencumulativesky /,but I'm
not sure where to invoke the latter one in the new version.

good luck!
