Shading inside the window is probably best handled using the TRNBuild
/ Type56 "internal shading device." What you'll need to do is translate
your blinds set at various angles to an overall shading factor (0 to
1). Then make the internal shading factor an INPUT to Type56 and set
its value using an EQUATION card in your simulation. You can then run a
parametric study and change the value of the equation variable in each
simulation.<br>
