onent are experiential or location specific. For example: humidex has been derived and widely used in Canada.Also both humidex and discomfort index should be used in in-shade conditions.For universal applications and locations, you should concentrate on either PET or UTCI (this is what "Outdoor Comfort Calculator" component is based on).
I have found out, that for instance - OutdoorComfortCalculator - which considers temperatures of 9-26 and other factors, gives the % of comfortable time outdoor for instance in Kenya in Africa (high temperatures and humidity) 55%, whereas within the same .epw data and some additional factors added to the Thermal Indices component, the "humidex" or "Discomfort index" give a result drastically lower, I think it was even 1-5% comfortable.How is that?
Yes, this is one of the issues that I have with UTCI index: the authors wanted to make it as an index applicable in any type of climate. To create the UTCI comfort categories a number of data has been collected from different locations (for hot humid climate, it was the data from Madagascar. I may be wrong on this). This resulted in universal comfortable range of 9 to 26 C which you mentioned. How would the people in Madagascar perceive the feel like temperature of 9 degrees as comfortable is beyond my understanding.Thermophysiology of a human in Madagascar, and in Poland is the same. However their acclimatization is quite different, which raises the issue with the upper universal comfortable range. In general people who live in hotter climates have a bit higher tolerance to high temperature than those living in continental climates. And vice-versa: their tolerance to lower temperatures is lower than the tolerance of the people from the continental climates. Here is a comparison of the UTCI - PET stress categories:
UTCI
all climates stress category
above +46 extreme heat stress+38 to +46 very strong heat stress+32 to +38 strong heat stress+26 to +32 moderate heat stress+9 to +26 no thermal stress+9 to 0 slight cold stress0 to -13 moderate cold stress-13 to -27 strong cold stress-27 to -40 very strong cold stressbelow -40 extreme cold stress
PET
(sub)tropical humid climate temperate climate stress categoryabove +42 above +41 extreme heat stress+38 to +42 +35 to +41 strong heat stress+34 to +38 +29 to +35 moderate heat stress+30 to +34 +23 to +29 slight heat stress+26 to +30 +18 to +23 no thermal stress+22 to +26 +13 to +18 slight cold stress+18 to +22 +8 to +13 moderate cold stress+14 to +18 +4 to +8 strong cold stressbelow +14 below +4 extreme cold stress
I attached below an example of PET humid climate comparison with UTCI, for in-shade and out-shade conditions.As it can be seen UTCI shows the percent of time comfortable: two times higher than PET.
Thank you Pin, for the useful comment, on usage of "Analysis period" component.…
Meshing Parameters) ...
but they are not fast(*) (Rhino is rather very slow in anything that classifies as "solid") and ... the fastest bunny (minimal mesh: ~ 10 times faster than the equivalent Brep "option") fails frequently (accuracy) meaning that you need to raise the mesh "resolution" ... and thus achieving a marginal benefit VS the Brep approach (In plain English: a typical Catch 22 case).
(*) recursion - if required: max reservoir etc etc - is rather problematic (takes ages to finish)
BTW: Minimal mesh fails (accuracy) when this goes into a doughnut (by raising the pocket depth) and you'll need to raise the depth a little bit more in order to obtain a solution. That makes recursion a handful since you'll need to check some steps further on (say 2 to 10) in order to decide if it's time to reduce the depth (using a smaller step) and then raise it (using an even smaller step) ... blah, blah.

on the division points (see rhino screenshot below, left side is what I'm describing. there is also a note in the screenshot of the GH file)
Unfortunately it doesn't work for multiple cell inputs.
I've also tried flattening the points into one big list and re-creating the polylines with sublists but with no luck. The points are not ordered the way it would need to be to use sublists from domains created by 2 series of numbers. So this is problematic becuase each cell has a different number of vertices. That method would work if I can create unevenly spaced intervals that match the number of vertices on a given input, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Like would it be possible to create a series of numbers whos step size varies with each step? e.g. series that starts at 0, steps up in size 5, then 7, then 11, etc. ant there are x amount of values in the series?
Any ideas how to get this working? Either with this definition or a different method?
Thanks,
Brian…

ración de 150 horas divididas en cuatro módulos, arrancando el 22 de Marzo del 2011 y terminando la segunda semana de Junio con sesiones los Martes y Jueves de 18:00 a 22:00hrs y algunos Sábados de 10:00 a 14:00hrs.
El tema central del diplomado es el uso integral de la herramienta digital en el proceso de diseño a partir de la base teórica del fenómeno de la emergencia (entendida como la obtención de resultados complejos a partir de la interacción de elementos simples con reglas de bajo nivel de sofisticación).
El desarrollo del programa se concentra en la aplicación práctica de las reflexiones teóricas generadas mediante el uso de herramientas digitales generativas, principalmente Grasshopper (plug-in de modelado parametrico para Rhinoceros).
Contaremos con la presencia de dos colaboradores internacionales: EL primero será un miembro de LaN (Live Architecture Network) que impartirá un curso sobre programación avanzada en Grasshopper enfocandolo a la realización de un objeto construido, haciendo énfasis en la transición entre lo virtual, lo análogo y lo físico. El segundo es Jalal el Ali, maestro en arquitectura por la Architectural Association, líder de la Unidad de Geometría Generativa de Buro Happold y actual líder de proyecto en Zaha Hadid Architects, quien dará un curso intensivo enfocado al uso de la herramienta digital y la producción digital, enseñando procesos que ha aplicado en la empresa donde trabaja. Jalal pronunciará también una conferencia magistral.
Es un programa promueve el uso de nuevas tecnologías y la integración de procesos de producción desde la concepción del diseño, aplicando los conocimientos teóricos en un objeto físico usando el laboratorio de fabricación de la Universidad Iberoamericana.
