What's the STDOUT look like from that rfluxmtx command? I hit this issue once, when I had a '-c (n)'  somewhere in my command pipeline and it wasn't consistent.

Hello everyone,

I have a question that I could not solve using Google, so I brought it to you guys. I have been playing a bit with RFLUXMTX with the purpose of implementing multi-phase methods for Tubular Daylight Devices,  but I am getting the error shown in the title of this e-mail.

"RCONTRIB: Warning - partial accumulation in final record"

I am using the command:

rfluxmtx -ab 3 -ad 512 -lw 1e-3 ./TDDs/4-TDD.top ./Skies/white_sky.rad ./Materials/materials.mat ./scene.rad ./Windows/windows.rad > ./DC/4-TDD-sky.mtx

The content of the files is specified below my signature.

Any idea what might be happening? I have seen that this happens "sometimes" (even for the same command)... is it a memory issue? user error? should this be in the developers list?

I AM USING NREL's x64 WINDOWS BINARIES

Thanks in advance to all!

Germán
