Hi Jorge,

No, DIVA cannot be connected to winair CFD simulation. I am having a trouble finding information regarding the validity of the winair engine and its input/output structure - pass these along if you know them.

Right now we are using two well known and validated engines- Radiance for Daylight/Insolation analysis and EnergyPlus for thermal analysis. I suspect we will include a CFD analysis at some point (especially if a free, valid, and fast engine comes along) but do not have plans for this in the immediate future.

It looks like GECO can do this if you happen to own a copy of Autodesk Ecotect.

Jeff

Would OpenFoam be a viable engine?
