be done easier, but later on the geometry will change and therefore this seems the better option. But coming back to the problem
First, there were some problems concerning the zone, although it seems solved still the “runenergysimulation” gives the following warning:
1. The simulation has not run correctly because of this severe error:
** Severe ** UpdateZoneSizing: Cooling supply air temperature (calculated) within 2C of zone temperature
Do one of you know what went wrong? It probably will solve most of it.
Second, “set Zone Thresholds” gives the following warning:
1. Solution exception:global name 'maxHumidity_' is not defined
However, the component is missing the max humidity input on the list, has this to do something with the error?
All the components are up to date.
I hope it will be an easy fix.

rcle A 0---1---2Circle B 0---1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10---11I was actually trying to connect through separated lines, point (A,0) to (B,11) and (B,1),point (A,1) to point (B,3) and (B,5), and (A,2) to (B,7) and (B,9).I was able to do it using a list item selecting the points and creating a line between them, but i would be to long to do it if i would like to divide in many more points, and try to connect them using list item... i went looking around for a bit, i think its possible to do it with a path mapper or a flip matrix, althought i have no clue how to make it.
You will find enclosed, some screenshots...If anyone could give me any tip, i thank you all in advance.Have a nice day.+Joan…

he default for Rhino, degree=5 gives you smoother curves, but each control point matters less, degree=11 is the highest degree Rhino allows. Apart from 2, degrees tend to be odd rather than even, though Rhino supports both.
In addition to the degree and the control points, Nurbs curves have knots. A single knot is just a number, and the list of all knots is called the knot-vector of a curve. The number of knots depends on both the degree and the control-point count, and the spacing of the knots affects the shape of the curve a little bit. If there are <degree> knots with the same value, then the curve is somewhat discontinuous at that location which could manifest itself as a kink or as a clamped end-point. However it is not possible by just looking at the shape of a curve to say where stacked knots might be, but you can use the Rhino _List command to inspect all details of a Nurbs curve.…
arget group The workshop is addressed to students of architecture and civil engineering faculties at master level from Estonia (11 seats), Latvia (3 seats), Lithuania (3 seats) and Sweden (3 seats). The selected students will have full scholarship that will include travel, board and lodging in Tallinn for 10 days (arrival on Sunday 03.07.2016 departure on Wednesday 13.07.2016). The workshop is funded by the NORDPLUS programme of the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) - Higher Education objective.
Description The use of digital and computational design tools is increasingly important for the activity of design and research for architects and engineers. It permits to integrate environmental and energy aspects from the very early stages of the design and planning process to achieve more performative, efficient and integrated buildings and urban environments. The workshop attendants will broaden their design and technical knowledge with solar design, daylighting and energy efficiency topics and will learn how to integrate environmental analysis and building performance analysis tools with parametric and generative methodologies in architecture and planning.

lane that looks like the outline of a gear wheel
2. Scale a bunch of copies of the curve to different sizes (I use 11 different sized curves.)
3. Move each curve vertically to a different Z-height
4. Rotate each curve to get the desired wavy/wiggly effect
5. Create a Loft surface using all the curves.
A critical step when creating the Loft is to add the curves in order - either top to bottom or bottom to top.
Step 4 can be omitted if you want a constant curvature throughout the final part. In this case all you have to do is Twist by the desired amount the Loft surface made from un-rotated curves. …

ings" [every person on the experiment is one ring] which show the time duration. The outer sphere is divided in 11 segments [which are basically the segments of a human brain] I hav imported the data so far but what i aim is to find a way to connect each moment[time, second] from the inner sphere to a number of points from a specific segment in the outer. For example for Person number1, at 5th second the segments that are activated are 4th , 6th, 11th with 2, 3, 2 points.
It could be done manually but since the connections are a few thousands and i got the lists, i wonder whether there is a better way.
Any help is appreciated, i do not attach files since you need the excel files aswell. If anyone would like to help i can email the files.
Thanks in advance.…
TB of RAM. I think I'm going to start a GoFundMe campaign to buy one for myself :)
2- The server's cost is about $13 an hour. I get free access to supercomputer through my university and xsede.org because I earned an NSF Honorable mention last March, however, the supercomputers available through both resources are a little complicated for me to use, as opposed to the one available from amazon that has Microsoft server 2012 already installed.
3- I wanted to run 400 annual glare simulations for 400 different views.
4- I tried a to perform annual glare simulation for one view on my Dell XPS that has Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor and 16GB of system memory. The simulation took 2 hours to complete. Radiance parameter ab was set to 6.
5- I wanted to obtain the batch file for each view so I can run them on the server. So I used the fly component to run all 400 simulations and closed the cmd windows, that wasn't bad ( for me at least) because I asked my son to this job for me, he was just glad to help me :)
6- I created one batch file using this cmd command:
dir /s /b *.bat > runall.bat
This created a file with the path to each .bat file. I edited this file in Notepad++ to include the word "start" at the beginning of each line. This was done using the "find and replace" dialogue box.
7- I split my newly created batch file into 3 batch files, each one has about 130 file names and " start" before the file names.
8- installed radiance on my server
9- Ran the first batch file on the server, this started 130 cmd windows performing my simulations, CPU usage was anywhere between 90% to 100% and about 105 GB of RAMs were used.
10. It took about 5 hours to complete all 130 simulations, I expected to run all in 2 hours but can't complain because this would've taken about 260 hours to run on my laptop. After the simulations done I ran the second and then the third batch files ( total of about 15 hours).
11. I got 400 valid dgb files. Couldn't be happier!
