[Radiance-general] Calculating transfer matrix for measurement points with luminaires in a room

[Andrew McNeil]

Aktuna,

You need to change the modifier of each light, not the name as follows
(note that I'm using -m instead of -n):

#@rfluxmtx h=u
!xform -m L1_direkt -t 1.21 2.6 2.6  k_direkt.rad
#@rfluxmtx h=u
!xform -m L2_direkt -t 3 2.6 2.6  k_direkt.rad


And you need to define all these new modifiers in k_direkt.rad:

void brightdata k_direkt_dist
5 flatcorr k_direkt.dat source.cal src_phi4 src_theta
0
1 22.7273

k_direkt_dist light L1_direkt
0
0
3 1 1 1

k_direkt_dist light L2_direkt
0
0
3 1 1 1


And you need to delete the top polygon of your light fixture, you can't do
hemispherical sampling for two polygons that have opposite surface normals.

Then finally here is the proper command syntax:
rfluxmtx -V+ -I+ @szene.opt - lights.rad < messpunkte.xyz szene.rad >
koeffizientenmatrix.mtx


If the top polygon is important (ie it contributes significant light) then
you can either calculate separate contributions from up vs. down, or you
can use rcontrib:
rcontrib -V+ -I+ @szene.opt -m L1_direkt -m L2_direkt -m L3_direkt -m
L4_direkt -m L5_direkt -m L6_direkt szene.oct <messpunkte.xyz >
koeffizientenmatrix.mtx

Best,
Andy
