It’s not too difficult to do this since we already do it for the UTCI mapping recipe:

> Ok, I just merged a version of the component that can accept a folder of air speed values that align with the sensors. After you run the Versioner and restart Rhino, you’ll see that you can plug the folder into the \_wind\_speed\_ input of the recipe: … and this is what the folder should look like in relation to the model sensor grids: It looks like the Edddy team did a good job making it easy to run OpenFOAM simulations when the meshing isn’t complex and everything …

But no one had asked for it with PMV until now.

If you confirm that you can test it and you have a project where you’ve run CFD simulations to get a matrix of hourly air speeds for each sensor, then I’ll try to add this as soon as I get the chance.
