Radiance in VE 2016 hotfix 1 error

Post by lutinfr »

I have tried to simulate Radiance in a big model, I got a strange error when simulation and reading sensor results.

See image below, I have tested on very simple model, VE did not generate proper screen for both interface (lack of indication of month and hours) and result, simulation with tick on Radiance has generated error or stop at 0% stop at "processing data - please wait"

I have tested a very tricky way to solve this problem, steps are below:
- Export model to GEM file.
- Install VE 2015 FP2 and import GEM file
- Setup model with sensors, all materials are the same in VE 2016 (colors and Tvis)
- Run Apache from Use Sensor tab with tick on Dynamic
- Open “Read Illum” button, then copy ill file (from right click menu)
- Back to VE 2016 and press “Read Illum”, paste ill file, rename this file to the same name of VE 2016’s project
- Run whole building simulation
