Automatically save LB spatial heatmap?

Hi,

I am running a daylight factor simulation for multiple rooms (about 40) simultaneously with the LB fly component.
I was wondering if there is any way in which I can automatically save the heatmap results to my computer. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Verena

Do you want to save the image or the result file?

If you want to save, please use the LB capture view component in the Ladybug tab.

If you want to save results, please create the generated dynamic folder name using the text join component. The dynamic file name is also required for the LB capture view.

I hope this solves the need.

Hi @Naga,

Thanks for the quick response!
The capture view component works for one simulation at a time, but I don’t get it to work for all 40 simulations. I think the file name should change with every simulation, because now it overwrites the picture every time. Do you maybe know if this is possible?

Thanks again!

Yes, I said earlier, you can “Text Join” component and make a filename with the parameters that you are changing every time. Dont forget to use shift key.

I am also sharing a custom component I scripted in GH using Python.
