Simulating IES lamps file through RAD materials

Hi to everyone,

in this tutorial ( http://diva4rhino.com/page/simulating-luminaires-with-ies-files ) is shown a method to simulate a lamp in DIVA. Considering that the process is about a modding of radiance materials, do you think that it would be possible to do the same in honeybee?

To go deeper I have tried to do the tutorial about DIVA, but in its grasshopper version: it doesn't work. To be more precise, the material, applied to a brep, is not read by the DIVA daylight simulator. Actually I don't know if I'm mistaken about some details.

it would be great if only it could be possible in honeybee! for instance I have found this study which is pretty interesting to calculate lamps power consumptions directly in honeybee: https://sites.google.com/site/just4architecture/research/responsive...

Thank you,

Claudio

All,

Sarith will post a discussion at some point next week with more details but meanwhile I wanted to let you know about the new set of components that he is developing for lighting simulation with Honeybee. The components are fairly advanced. They will replace IES>HB workflow and will open up a lot of new possibilities. Here is couple of outputs that are created by the components:
