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

[Jon Hand]

Some changes in the solution technique allow obstructions to touch
surfaces generally without problem.

The advise on working within the model cfg folder is good.  The
other location that works is running prj from one level up e.g.
  if the model folder is hospital and there is hospital/cfg/hospital.cfg
then if you start prj from the folder above hospital e.g.
  prj -file hospital
it will find hospital/cfg/hospital.cfg.
At least it does on Linux boxes.  If you are invoking esp-r from within
a cygwin terminal then it should follow the Linux pattern.

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

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
