Saikat Das, There are two ways that you can do this. If you want to set the
slope and azimuth of a surface (or axis) and have it remain fixed
throughout the simulation or have the surface track the sun in a
prescribed manner then you can use Type15 as Jeff mentioned in his
email. If, however, you want to create a different tracking scheme or if your surface's slope and azimuth follow some other pattern then you can use Type15 to get the solar radiation on a horizontal surface and use Type9 to read a data file containing slope and azimuth. The results of Type9 and Type15 can then be passed to Type16 for processing. I saw this technique used in a project some years ago that was looking at the energy use of a large cruise ship, which was treated as a building whose walls and windows changed azimuth according to the ship's direction. kind regards, David
