Hi Liu

just checked your file.

What you have done is to set a different precission in GEco( sky-subdivision 35) than in Ecotect so this is causing the difference. Take a look on this image with setting 15.

cheers,

Hi [uto] and everybody else,

I don't really understand de example file called "Geco_DaylightStudies_MeasuringGrid_GH08"

When I start ecotect conection, it starts to calculate several grids going up and I don't know what the results means.

Could anybody help me!?

Thanks in advance,

dear Geco Group,

is it possible to calculate a series of objects once separately by using Geco plugin, like solar panels with different angles?

 

thanks

Hi all,

After installing GH 8.0050, I notice that the weather file component does not react when double clicking. Does anybody facing the same issue? (is it a bug or only my PC?)

Thanks

Hi Amir,

 

You are right it was a bug. Thank you for the hint!

We fixed it, please download the new release.

is there a mesh number limit for the plugin? i'm trying to import a big model with about 4000 meshes into ecotect. the running in ecotect was ok, but in grasshopper i got this.

 

Rhino 4 SR9

Grasshopper 0.8.0051

geco 1.0.25.0

Hi Yi Lu,

we have a 5 minute timeout which releases the connection to ecotect to keep on working in rhino until the calculation is done.

So that means that ecotect will finish the job which was started. To reestablish the linkage just toggle the ecolinklink again.

So there is no mesh number limit at all just time you need to finish heavy calculations.

Hello [uto],
I need a way to import the results of the analysis of Resurce Consumption like Hourly Solar Collected, but I can't find the lua command.

thanks

Hi,

get.results.solar.absorbed

value = get("results.solarabsorbed", hour)

Returns the radiation value after a calc.solar.day calculation for the amount of radiation absorbed by the surface (W).

Parameter(s)

This property takes the following parameters.

The hour to retrieve, being from to .

Return Value(s)

Getting this property returns the following value(s).

A decimal value containing the specified solar value.

LUA Script Example(s)

value = get("results.solar.absorbed", 21)

that means for our component "1:get.results.solar.absorbed 21;"

 

are you looking for that?

Hi "to]" ;)

thanks for the advice,

now I'm working in this direction with an approximate calculation for thephotovoltaic by taking 12% of solar absorbed energy 

... you think it might go?

thank you very much
Best regards

Maurizio Arturo

Hi UTO,

I am getting a loading error in GH  and the Geco tools do not appear anymore :(

Below is the actual error message as well as my components folder and GH User Data Roaming librarie.

Not sure what to do?

Many thanks and best wishes,

Arthur
