Xavier:The component Type16j has the possibility for calculating the irradiation for as many as 8 surfaces. If you look at the proforma, regardless of how many surfaces you want to calculate, the output tab always indicates that it is possible to get results for the 8 surfaces (i.e., 'Total radiation on surface 8', 'Beam radiation on surface 8', etc.) . If you use less number of surfaces, let's say N surfaces, the component will only use the first N outputs.
Please let me know if this helps. Diego Xavier Dequaire wrote:
Hi, In type16j, I defined 7 surfaces to calculate the different irradiations for my building type 56 when I look at the link between the two types, the output of type16j shows 8 surfaces where does this 8th surface come from? Xavier D.
