I am trying to make a daylight simulation for a floor which has a lot of internal glazing and I want to see how deep natural light goes throughout the year and as well choose the optimal window/shading solution.
I did it with classical HB legacy version, where I did sims for few typical hours in the year and that works. And now I am testing HB+ and so far I love those 3phase, 5phase simulations. Especially as it is way faster and it is easy to include different glazing solutions (BSDF files) in one sim + the awsome specific window contribution feature!
After I switched from a test box building to this one with internal glazing, the daylight stops at the first internal glass wall. Which I understand can be a limitation of 3 and 5 phase simulation.
Then I tried to use daylight coefficient grid based simulation, but that one does not work with BSDF materials (or it does but I’m doing something wrong). I get following error Solution exception:Failed to load the results form an empty file:. I googled and tried all solutions what Mostapha has proposed (newest Radiance version installed on C: drive and deleted all previous result files).
You’re facing one of the current limitations of how multi-phase simulation is implemented in Honeybee[+]. This will change in the new release but for now interior dynamic windows will be an issue unless you add them to the simulation as a radiance scene.
Hi @dstjelja, If you use the same email for Patreon website and this forum it should show up automatically. I can add it manually but can you confirm that you’re using two different emails? I want to make sure our webhook to assigning the badge automatically is still working. Thanks.
