 |
|
Refer attached image db-geometry-bug.png rendered by TrueView 2007 after EnergyPlus 2.1.0 run, and corresponding view from DesignBuilder db-correct-geometry.png of geometry as expected.
Geometry modelled in DesignBuilder 1.4.0.044, eyebrow concrete panels and fin panels modelled as component blocks to provide solar shading to windows.
It appears that the eyebrow panel on the -Y side of the building cuts straight through the building ..... notice also that funny things happen with the fence in the background as well.
Is this behaviour expected?
Regards,
Mark Carey

Hi Mark,
Has the data that is being rendered by TrueView been generated by EnergyPlus?

Steve,
Short answer I believe is yes.
dsb converted to idf by DesignBuilder
dxf produced by EnergyPlus
As you correctly suggest it could be a Geometry Generation problem in DesingBuilder or similar issue in EnergyPlus.
Would a copy of the relevant parts of the idf file help?
Cheers,
Mark

Chris,
It would be more helpful if you could upload your .DSB file to the forum.
Regards,
Steve
