Re: [TRNSYS-users] Shading groups

Mattia,
  I think you will have to be a little creative here. Shading devices in Trnsys3D are assumed to be opaque as you know so I don't think you can define the shading surface in there. You could use Type34, which models simple overhangs and/or wingwalls. That model also assumes an opaque shader but it gives outputs for various shading fractions and view factors. You may be able to use those and the unshaded radiation from your weather component to get an estimate of the radiation that comes through your not-quite-opaque device. Lastly, Type56 allows you to enter a shading factor for any given window. You may be able to treat your shaders in that manner.

  Unfortunately, there is not a direct way to treat semitransparent shaders unless you would care to modify Type34.
Kind regards,
 David

Hi!!! i have a little problem with my imported 3d model from trnsys 3d plug-in for sketchup.

I have posted a picture that show my 3d model in sketchup; so, as you can see, all of the triangular surfaces (into red circle), are made in perforated corten steel, and i need to give a shading coefficient to their, otherwise the  program will do the simulations considering the shading surfaces opaque; but actually they are not matt.

if someone have any ideas about how I can do.....
