<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">I am setting a very simple (a tetrahedral) monozone. Just 1 glazed external surface (the façade). I use detailed radiation models as I want to assess the PMV values in 2 reference comfort
points: one close to the external façade and one to the internal wall.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">The view factor calculation works when I specify the geometry of the comfort reference points in the “geo-info” TRNbuild window. When I add as b17 output the Ntype 120, 122, 124 and
126, the view factor calculation routine never stops and I have to kill manually the viewfactor.exe process. No vfm file is created. Moreover, I noticed the a file “Facadffr” with no extension is created in the folder at one level above.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Any idea? Is that a bug? Do I do a mistake in the settings?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Thanks a lot!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
