[esp-r] Re: Non-rectangular obstruction block

[Per Haugaard]

Dear Achim and list,

I updated ESP-r to version 11.9 to include non-rectangular polygon obstruction blocks. 

The first thin I noticed loading the model after the update was the following error mesasge:

"Using installed version of esprc file.
When scanning materials db looking for legacy index          40
no match found for material named Concrete med density (1800) : Blockwork (UK code)"

Is there an easy workaround for this?

Secondly the conversion of obstruction blocks to polygons seem to fail and I cannot enter coordinates for the 8 vertices's and hence make polygon obstruction block. Can I enter this manually within the obs-file and how would the syntax look like?

Below you will find the present output when making polygon obstruction blocks:

# site obstruction file defined in ../zones/Sydlig_del.obs
# associated with zone geometry file ../zones/Sydlig_del.geo
 0. 0.   # dummy values for site position
    2    # no obstruction blocks
# origin X Y Z, width, depth, height, rot angle, descr, material
0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 Top roof_1 # block 1
0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 new_blk NONE # block 2
# grid surf X surf Z
    15    15

Best regard

Per Haugaard

Hi Per

you most likely need a newer version of ESP-r or must at least convert your .geo file to the new format with tags. Then you can define non-rectangular obstructions. There should be a menu item "convert to free form" (or similar) in the obstruction editing menu.

 Hi,   I am working in ESP-r version 11.4 modeling a building with a large non-rectangular roof which shades the south facaing facades.   I read in a prior mail from Jon, that obstruction blocks can be modelled with 6 sides. This seens hardli possi!
 ble when
looking at the .obs file.    My question is how can I model an obstruction block or shading which 5 or 6 sides?      /Per
