[esp-r] Re: [ESP-r] gaps for window

[Achim Geissler]

Dear Simsera

the next step (sorry for omitting it in my first reply) would be to set up a MLC in the database with type "GSLEdit" (instead of "OPAQ" or "TRAN"). If you then define a surface in your model to be of this MLC type, you will be promted to enter the GSLEdit output file and ESP-r will generate a file "zone.cfc". Then you are ready to run the simulation using the CFC type surface.

I strongly recommend downloading Bart Lomanowski's Thesis (uwspace.uwaterloo.ca/bitstream/10012/4164/1/Lomanowski_Bartosz.pdf) - he is the developer of the CFC code and gives a detailed description of their functionality and usage.

Best
Achim
