Wind pressure on facade to calculate infiltration rate - Another potential way to link Butterfly to Honeybee

@OlivierDambron

This is also what I am trying to achieve as well. I believe we should have standard template with Butterfly where we place building and then we run CFD for 1-32 orientations, ie. 8 (0.0 45.0 90.0 135.0 180.0 225.0 270.0 315.0) wind orientation and then we have more accurate pressure coefficients for all external aperture.

As standard output we should get .csv, .txt file with

Suggested Format

  • No. of wind directions: The number of wind directions for which pressure coefficients are specified (in the range 1 to 32).

  • Wind directions: The wind directions for which pressure coefficients are specified, in degrees clockwise from north in the range 0 to 360.

  • Space ID, Surface ID: The ID of the zone and surface for which wind pressure coefficients are specified.

  • Wind pressure coefficients: The wind pressure coefficients for the specified surface, for each wind direction specified on the first line.
