<p>Hi Anton,</p>
<p></p>
<p>It's not urgent as of the moment but I might need it the next weeks or so.</p>
<p>You might have missed my other post regarding the PVGen Component (<a href="http://www.grasshopper3d.com/xn/detail/2985220:Comment:1549495" target="_blank">http://www.grasshopper3d.com/xn/detail/2985220:Comment:1549495</a>).

<p>I'm also having some problems with the Generators when they're plugged in into the EP Simulation...</p>

<p>(1) Using the same setup from the tutorials for PV Generators, the EP Simulation gave me this.</p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>(2) When I ran the simulation using either the Old or New version (see .gh file) of the 'Generator:Wind Horizontal Axis' component, the simulation gave me this warning.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have another question by the way. The old 'Generator:Wind Horizontal Axis' component only required 2 inputs (boolean for size, and the name). The new component though, even though I already set those two values was still asking for the specs from simpleOranalytical to turbinecost. Is this a bug?</p>

<p>Hi Anton, </p>
<p><br/>That's great for now thanks! Will look forward to seeing what else you get the tool to accomplish in the future. Small note however, the financial analysis tool based on the LB 3D plotter tool isn't working for some reason (no worries it's not really why I'm using this tool for now).</p>
