color=#0000ff>If you have tmy2, why do you want to go to 109? We (Transsolar)
can create 109 files, but the scripts to do so aren't something I can easily
send you. What city are you using? Maybe I have it already. I doubt
Meteonorm can create a 109. A "109 weather file," as far as I know, only
exists in the Trnsys world. Just change parameter 1 of type 109 to 2 instead of
1 and it will know it's getting a tmy2 file and not a 109.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff>Variable cycles are how some Types handle multiple sets of
variables. Type 109, for example, can process various surface orientations to
create the total, direct, and diffuse radiation levels. The calculation is the
same for each of these, so the type cycles (loops) for each input
orientation, and outputs all the results grouped in the same order as they were
input.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff>Blocking all solar radiation to the roof might be as simple as
saying that it's 100% shaded. Or just override the usual horizontal radiation
input and set it equal to zero. I don't think you can set the roof surface
temperature directly, but you can say that the temperature "outside" this
particular surface is equal to an input, connected to the output of your
component - as if there were different ambient conditions for the roof, rather
than the normal outdoor temp.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
