Can ApacheSim be used to simulate day and night separately?

Fast, accurate dynamic thermal simulation for energy/carbon modelling and much more...

Can ApacheSim be used to simulate day and night separately?

Post by Amain »

I'm working on a case study in Nigeria and the variations in daytime and night time temperatures are greater than the seasonal variations. I was wondering if there is a way to calculate the temperature for 6am to 7pm instead of trying to work it out on excel?

Hi Amain,

It's likely you will need to export to Excel to focus in on the time periods each day you are most interested in as there is no way to simulate only for a certain part of each day. The results analysis does give an option in the range test mode to limit to only occupied hours so maybe that helps you in Vista but for any other analysis of the results you will still need to export to excel to focus on the area you are interested in.
