According to the new pdf uploaded for the new 2013 release:

The Run Simulation runs a dynamic calculation for the selected zone. When complete there are
options to Display and Process (WP Grid tab) Results.

In both my personal computer and the lab computers, I cannot see the display button/option ...

Thank you Megan.

One more thing: I'm noticing that in one of the rooms only in FlucsDl is not taking local shade in consideration. It is happening just fine on the south side..in other rooms. There is not particular difference in the local shade..they are screens repeated around the facade.

Is ...

I'm running multiple renders for the same rooms on different times during the year. However, when I want to compare them as graphics - the scale (of color and corresponding value) is varying so it is not possible to put different images across the board and analyse them.

Is it possible to fix the ...

I've updated IES VE, but cannot find the location where i can run sDA.

Thank you. I have been able to model screen as a local shading device. I ran radiance (apache with sensors) but when i am running apache sim (dynamic simulation) I was prompted with an error saying:
"Error: Toom many rooms on illuminance file."

In the earlier version of IES: when you Ran the solar shading calculations on the bottom you would get a table showing % area of the surface receiving solar gains (in shades of yellow to grey).
In the latest version of IES VE, in the same place, the same table instead shows the a matrix of solar ...

I have a typical room geometry and i want to add an external perforated screen for shading, outside of the glazing. What is the best way to model a facade with a repetitive shape for the whole window (just not vertical or horizontal fins). It is single glazed with outside screens and it is not a ...

Thank you. I tried with inches and it's perfect.

When i import dxf, i have used defaults (m and ft) which is not helping. I tried to identify the scale factor by re-scaling in modelIT. However, so far i have been unsuccessful. I also tried between 1 and 0.01 scale as user defined. By default my model is close to a 1000 times larger(x and y) than ...

Thank you. I know that matching building simulation with real is almost impossible, but Im doing this for my research so I guess I have to be the client as well (or my thesis committee). I decided against modeling in Revit, so now I am starting in IES directly.
Thanks again.
