Adding Radiance Materials to a Geometry in Incident Radiation Simulation

ladybug-tools

Hi everybody,
I am a beginner user of Ladybug, I would kindly ask you a support.
I am running an “Incident Radiation Simulation” of a building envelop and I would like to test the effect of a glazed overhang, used as shading.
I am using Incident Radiation tool and as inputs:

  • Analysis building in “_geometry”
  • Shading device in “_context”

Is there anyway to add materials property to the geometry I use as Shading device and I input in context?
I tried to use H.B. face components and then use radiance glass modifier to set glazing properties, but “face” cannot be used as input for “context” in Incident Radiation tool

You need to use the CumulativeRadiance or the AnnualIrradiance recipies from th HB-Radiance tab.
The Incident Radiation component from LB doesn’t allow to define material properties.

Thanks for your reply
I tried and I ended up with this exception:

  1. Solution exception:The recipe failed to run with the following summary:

Scheduled 16 tasks of which:

  • 11 ran successfully:

  • 4 were left pending, among these:

      • 1 _Main_e9c43459Orchestrator(…)
    • 1 was not granted run permission by the scheduler:

This progress looks :frowning: because there were failed tasks

Use the report_out attribute of recipe settings to see a full report.
