Radiation calculation problem

Hello Mostafa,

I am using the Radiation analysis component. The result is always 0

and I have noticed that the output of the GenCumulativeSky component,

the GenCumSkyResult is always 0 in all the items. The epw weather file and

the GenCumulativeSky.exe are working properly. Can you imagine some issue?

I attach an image of the definition. As you can see from the Panel attached to the

genCumSkyResult output all the items are 0 (up to the 25th line is visible but also

all the others are). The report output says that "There were 3 sun up hours in this climate file", is it ok? Thank you.

Best

Francesco

You know better Mostapha, but this happened with me twice. So now I have found a way around it by extruding the surface a little bit.

One of my classmate also had the same problem. She had an outer shell of building, which was essentially a surface, and she was trying to perform radiation analysis with it. I recommended her to make a closed solid. It worked perfectly in her case too.

Thanks,
