DIVA for Rhino

Information

DIVA-for-Rhino is a plugin which runs thermal, daylight, solar radiation, and glare simulations. Our goal is to bring validated environmental simulations directly to the conceptual design environments of Rhino and Grasshopper.

You need to be a member of DIVA for Rhino to add comments!

It worked.

Hey Mohamed,

All you basicly need to do is make sure your project name changes for every analysis run. you can do this by using the concatenate component This will guarantee that a unique IDF file is created for each run.

I have attached an example definition used to explain what I mean The definition uses a slider to not only change the name of each run but to change the size of glazing.

Comment by mohamed aly on February 1, 2012 at 3:19am: Hi Jon,

Is there a way to add a slider in the viper component (like the one in DIVA). It can help when running parametric simulations using Galapagos.

Thank you.

Comment by Carlos Romay on January 31, 2012 at 7:38pm: Yes, that solved the problem. Thanks.

Comment by Carlos Romay on January 28, 2012 at 6:14pm: Hello. I've been looking forward to run DIVA in my computer, but when I drag the DIVA.rhp file to Rhino I get the message that I should get the latest release of Rhino. Nevertheless I run SR8 in Rhino4 with any problems. I have successfully installed all the other components (Radiance, Daysim, etc). I managed to install also the GH components. Could someone help me? Thanks.

Comment by Joo Suk Hwang on January 24, 2012 at 11:30am: Thanks for developing this great plug-in.

I have a few questions regarding the thermal analysis component.

In viper component, I can see that direct and diffuse solar energy are available in outputs. Is there anyway to extract the transmitted/absorbed solar energy into the zone?

Does the one of the Viper inputs, “People”(number of people/m2), take consideration into occupancy difference throughout the day? If so, is it possible to see what the different percentages are? Better yet, is it possible to customize the percentage on hourly basis?

When would DIVA 2.0 be publicly available? I can't wait to see it.

Thanks.
