[esp-r] Shading-insolation file error while simulating

[Matias Bottarini Clerici]

Dear all,

I've found some problems before simulation is commenced. A message  
pops up saying:

'Could not find "cfg/../zones/Room_1.shd" 'Continue'

' Zone 1 shading/insolation file cannot be opened.'


In order to define the shading obstructions and calculations, I  
followed all the instructions in the Cookbook plus some other advices  
like leaving 10 mm between obstructions and zone objects.

I checked that the files 'Room_1.shd' and the ASCII 'Room_1.shda' were  
created in the 'zones' file. Everything seems to be in place. In fact,  
I can open the 'ish' platform without problems and the shading factor  
calculations seems to be ok.

I've checked the paths of the zone folders in the 'folders & files'  
option in the Project Manager, and everything it's ok.

I've tried to delete and re-define the obstructions and create from  
scratch the '.shd' files.

On the other hand, I've openend the exemplar  
'simple/building_shading.cfg' (the one that is defined in the  
Cookbook) and ran a simulation without problems...

I'm using the X11 interface on a Cygwin simulator, so in order to see  
if there is any problem with the file execution paths, I've tried to  
open my 'Project.cfg' file from:

~/home/models and ~/home/models/Project

and the message stills popping up...

I don't know what else to do,

Any idea of what could be the problem or some process to follow?

THank you very much,

Matias
