Hello everyone, I use trnsys3D to import to TRNBuild and I have a few shading objects. In the existing model I just used shading factors from PHPP, only differencing between summer and winter. Now I want to have more detailed shading factors and want to use the shading matrix (shm) but as I read in the documentations I need convex zones for it. Or is it working with concave zones, if I just use the detailed radiation model for the beam radiation distribution (and for the diffuse radiation distribution and the longwave radiation exchange within a zone the standard models)? As far as I can see the geometry of a zone is indifferent for the shm-File – isn’t it? If it really does not work like that, my idea was to build up the same 3D-Modell but with only fictitious concave zones, so I could get the shading factors in the shm-file. Is there any type I can use to read the shm-matrix into my simulation with the concave zones? Big thanks in advance! Best regards, Manfred Schindler |
