Dynamic Shading Status

Hello,

I’m currently working on a project where I evaluate different static shading geometries. What I would like to see is whether my dynamic shading (which I set up through “HB Window Construction Shade”) is on or off at a given point in time.

I tried extracting this information using “HB Read Custom Result,” but I couldn’t find it.

Thanks for any tips!

Hi @smooooon ,

You probably just need to be sure add the right OutputVariable to your OSM simulation. By default, window shade operation data is not captured. It can be added though:

Hi @edpmay ,

Thank you! Thats exactly what I needed… Is there a list of all the “output_names” or how can i figure out what keyword i need?

Best,
Simon

@smooooon ,

You can use the HB Read Result Dictionary component to see a listing of al the possible OutputVariable names (see the example file attached previously).

The weirdness is that you need to run the simulation once to see that list, then you can add them to your simulation set.
