[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS3D plugin question

[Marion Hiller]

Dear Lampros,

 

 

When I saved and reopen the idf file, Outiner window showed 17 shading
objects (!) see attached idf file. Even though I believe that it
automatically created one object per surface, it is important to know

1.       Is this normal?

=> Yes this is normal. Thr pluginallows you to draw several shading
surfaces into one group because it is more convienent than creating a
group for each surface.

2.       Does this affect my calculations?
=> Yes, this is the required input and therefore it is working fine *

3.       Can I do something to make it behave properly?
=> No, this is the proper behavour

4.       Why does outliner window of my skp,  even though it produces
errors, shows the shading objects properly?
=> because it’s not an error.

 

Best regards,

 

Marion

Betreff: [TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS3D plugin question

 

Dear All,

 

I am working with the latest version of the TRNSYS 3d plugin on windows
XP and using the trnsys 17.00019 version of the simulation Studio.

 

I already have sketched my building and defined the zones in it, as
described on the manual. 

The most common problems I have met so far have to do with some error
messages when I try to use the skp file. However I read Mr. ‘s Duffy
note that we should only use the idf file, and therefore I did not
worry.

 

My main problem begun when I started drawing the shadow objects that
affect my building.  I did defined the objects as noted on the tutorial
(version June 2010) and on the Outliner Window I could see two Shading
Object groups, (one for the nearby building that affect mine and one for
a second construction that is attached to my building) Please see
attached skp file.

 

When I saved and reopen the idf file, Outiner window showed 17 shading
objects (!) see attached idf file. Even though I believe that it
automatically created one object per surface, it is important to know

5.       Is this normal?

6.       Does this affect my calculations?

7.       Can I do something to make it behave properly?

8.       Why does outliner window of my skp,  even though it produces
errors, shows the shading objects properly?

 

Any help would be most appreciated, specially on questions #1, #2

 

Best Regards

Lampros Karalis
