Attempting to specify glazing by orientation using the Simple Window Ratio Parameters component, but specifying a glazing ratio of 0% for a direction results in an OpenStudio component error.
In this simplified example (DragonflyWWR_simplified.gh (50.5 KB)), two of the sides should have no glazing (which is what the HB wireframe shows), but the translated honeybee model always has four glazing surfaces per room:
@ehsan.anvary Thanks for the reply, but I tried your suggestion and it produces the same result when coupled with âDF Simple Window Ratio Parametersâ.
I did figure out a work around. For some reason using the âDF Repeating Window Ratio Parametersâ component doesnât produce the extra no area windows. And by setting the horizontal separation input to a large number it creates one window per façade. Using the âHB Facade Parametersâ instead of the Merge component in this workflow also works.
Iâm sorry for the late response and thank you for finding and reporting this issue. If you simply donât connect anything to the slot in the Merge component (instead of a 0), then everything should work. But youâre right that we should be handling this case so that you donât end up with a cryptic error message like you did here.
I just committed a change to the components that will ensure that this case doesnât happen again:
âŚand I also made a change dragonfly core library to make sure that this case is always handled (no matter where the dragonfly model comes from):
