Unrecognised Comfort Recipe - Microclimate Map Analysis

Hi guys!

I've been going through the forums to see if this has been raised, and have been looking at other examples of this component, but unable to solve my issue. Apologies if it is a very simple one!

The component Microclimate Map Analysis will not read the comfort recipe from the Adaptive Comfort Analysis Recipe nor the PMV recipe, as illustrated below. The error says "Comfort recipe not recognised". All my objects have been updated via the updater...

Am not sure if this is simply due to an error in code, or if I am missing a fundamental step.

Help!

Also, where can I find the "Honeybee_Annual Indoor Comfort Analysis" component?

Elzine,

You missed to set to TRUE the input _buildMesh in the HB_IndoorViewFactor component. It is a compulsory input. Without it the component is not outputting anything and that's why it wasn't working for you.

The indoor comfort analysis, as i recall, was replaced by different components. But Chris probably will be more accurate in this respect.

Abraham,

Thanks for taking care of this. We have realized that missing required inputs tend to be a big reason for a number of people's issues and so we are inputting a set of warnings in our next release that will alert people if they are missing something required:

As for the comfort components, I re-named the "annual indoor microclimate analysis" component to be called "microclimate map analysis" after I put in the ability to create maps of outdoor temperature with the same components (the word indoor seemed no longer relevant). I did this a few months ago and realize that changing the name can create confusion but know that the component you have in your image is just the most recent version of the old "indoor microclimate analysis" component.
