Adrien,
The first column in the *.msk file is the angle formed between the
horizontal and an imaginary line drawn between the center point of the
shaded surface and the top of the obstruction. If you enter an angle
of 0° that means that the obstruction has a height of 0 in that
direction and that the surface would be unshaded from sunlight coming
from that direction. If you enter a value of 90° that means that the
obstruction has an infinite height in that direction and that the
surface would always be shaded from sunlight coming from that
direction. 0° = no shading, 90° = complete shading (for that surface
angle direction)
Cheers,
David

Dear TRNSYS users,
I'd like to model shading masks, caused by neighbour buildings. To do
that, I am using Type 68 with "mask file". I understand how to use it
and to connect it to others components. But I am not sure to really
understand how the first column of the file is taken into account by
TRNSYS.
If I put an angle between 0 and 90 °, it means that there is a solar
shading isn't it? But if I write 0 or 90°, what does it mean? How these
values are interpreted by the component : Total shading? No Shading?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Adrien
