Mostapha Sadeghipour replied to Francesco De Luca's discussion Parallel input in Sunlight Hours Analysis component in the group Ladybug

"You don't need to connect them one by one separately. Ladybug does automatically solve the self-intersection. As I said it will be probably easier to help if you upload the definitions or email them to me. I'll send you a link to download…"

Mostapha Sadeghipour replied to Francesco De Luca's discussion Radiation calculation problem in the group Ladybug

"I didn't mean that. Sorry if I wasn't clear. The result will be the same regardless of the number of the components... You are right that the result form GenCumulative sky is strange."

"Hi Francesco! Do you want to upload the definition or email it to me so I can take a look."

Francesco De Luca replied to Francesco De Luca's discussion Radiation calculation problem in the group Ladybug

"Mostapha, you mean that the calculation goes wrong because I am using three Solar Radiation at the same time? Anyway it's strange that the GenCumSkyResult output returs always 0 in all the items."

"Hello Mostapha, the period you can see from the screenshot.It is from 21 April 12:00 to 21 June 13:00. I don't think therer is something wrong there, isn't it? It gave me the same result also with Rome epw weather file. Thank…"

"Hello Mostapha, I am working on a research project. I have three buildings with different height that I have to place on a plot. The goal is that the building create as less as possible overshadowing on each other. So I am calculating the result…"

Michal Dengusiak replied to Francesco De Luca's discussion Parallel input in Sunlight Hours Analysis component in the group Ladybug

"Francesco, It seems that we got similar interest in Environmental studies (Ladybug, Galapagos). Please share if possible your final results and let us know if you managed to achieve your goal, Michal"

Mostapha Sadeghipour replied to Francesco De Luca's discussion Parallel input in Sunlight Hours Analysis component in the group Ladybug

"Michal is right about the parallel option. For the optimization though, if you are using Galapagos (which is a single-objective solver) I'm curious to know why are you calculating the result separately for each skin? I assume you add up the…"

"For the next release I'll graft the output for each test surface so you can run it all using one component and get the result for each individual surface."

Mostapha Sadeghipour replied to Francesco De Luca's discussion Radiation calculation problem in the group Ladybug

"It might be because the radiation is 0 during the time that you are running the study? As far as I can see it is Manila Philippines. I don't know about the climate in Philippines that much. Did you try to draw the sunPath for the same time and…"

"Hi Francesco, Sorry to get back to you late! Back to Energyplus and Radiance I'll probably ask users to download and install them manually. I really like the idea to let the users know what is really happening in the background. I believe the…"
