[TRNSYS-users] Mask

[David Bradley]

Gizmoog,
  As far as the beam radiation is concerned, you can use the 
combination of Type67 and Type34 to define the inverse of your mask:

>inside                                 outside

where Type34 defines the overhang and Type67 defines the inverse of 
your real mask. Type67 has outputs for whether the beam radiation is 
visible or not. The output BeamFraction is 0 if beam radiation is 
blocked and 1 if the beam radiation is not blocked. In your case, you 
will multiply the unshaded beam radiation by (1-BeamFraction).
You might be able to handle the diffuse radiation in a similar manner.
Cheers,
  David
