[Radiance-general] wrong results in Daysim

[Reinhart, Christoph]

Dear Alejandro,

 

Daysim/Radiance does not distinguish between simple and simple geometries. (Of course, if a sensor is located  in a wall it should yield zero lighting unless your ambient accuracy value is set too high.) My suspicion is that you are reading in a wrong set of sensor points into Ecotect. Ecotect has no intrinsic way of making sure that a DA file actually goes with your current sensor grind. It is up to you to make sure that the two are consistent.

Hi all;

I´m been using Daysim for a few weeks now and I´m getting some strange results that does´t make sence to me. I´m using ecotect from wicht I export to daysim and when it´s finish I import the results into ecotect again.  

I receiveng 0% DA near a window and 100% inside a close space with no windows. This seems to happen only when I create a grid inside a space with a lot of internal subdivisions  like walls and pillars. Also seems to happen only when the grid covers multiple orientations. When is only one (north, south, etc) this does´n happen either.

Does anyone else experience this using daysim true ecotect????

Anyone knows the problem?
