xtract A1, A2, B1, B2 as one set, A2, A3, B2, B3 as the second set, A3, A4, B3, B4...etc. as the third set and so on. How can I get about doing this?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben…
me in 19 different pipeline components. Marginally better, but I'll still need to do this operation approx. 80 times...gulp.
Here's a wishlist request for David: expose string inputs in the Geometry Pipeline for Layer and Name. If I had that, I could change one string to swap my whole geometry set! (My layers have names like "B1 red rail", "B1 blue rail" etc., then the next time I'll want "B2 red rail", "B2 blue rail" etc.)
BTW, I'm happy to script something in C# if it will help: maybe I could write something like the Geometry Pipeline that takes a string input for layer name? Hmmm...

rkup) as below:
float coeff_perez [] is from Perez's paper in solar energy vol. 50, No.3. pp235-245, 1993.
i would like to adjust A3, A4, A5, A6 and A7 using measurement irradiance data over a whole year for every minute or hour, and update these coefficients under the file perezlum.cal. It means i may need to re-compile gendaylit.exe, which i have no idea how to do it.
i found radiance has another version on gendaymtx.c v2.13. it includes static const double PerezCoeff[8][20]. I am wondering which version of gendaymtx does ladybug GenCumulativeSkyMtx use.
Thanks for your suggestions on honeybee plugin. I will take a look and see how.
Cheers,
Le

exact formula is inside /lib/skybright.cal if this can help you to find the name.
{ RCSid: $Id$ } { Sky brightness function for sunny and cloudy skies.
Additional arguments required for calculation of skybright:
A1 - 1 for CIE clear, 2 for CIE overcast, 3 for uniform, 4 for CIE intermediate A2 - zenith brightness A3 - ground plane brightness A4 - normalization factor based on sun direction A5,A6,A7 - sun direction }
cosgamma = Dx*A5 + Dy*A6 + Dz*A7;
gamma = Acos(cosgamma); { angle from sun to this point in sky }
zt = Acos(A7); { angle from zenith to sun }
eta = Acos(Dz); { angle from zenith to this point in sky }
wmean(a, x, b, y) : (a*x + b*y) / (a + b);
skybr = wmean((Dz+1.01)^10, select(A1, sunnysky, cloudysky, unifsky, intersky), (Dz+1.01)^-10, A3);
sunnysky = A2 * (.91 + 10*exp(-3*gamma) + .45*cosgamma*cosgamma) * if( Dz - .01, 1.0 - exp(-.32/Dz), 1.0) / A4;
cloudysky = A2 * (1 + 2*Dz)/3;
unifsky = A2;
intersky = A2 * ( (1.35*sin(5.631-3.59*eta)+3.12)*sin(4.396-2.6*zt) + 6.37 - eta ) / 2.326 * exp(gamma*-.563*((2.629-eta)*(1.562-zt)+.812)) / A4;
