Parametric analysis for envelope

Post by danylore »

Hi,
i'm wondering if with the new parametric softwares (hone, elements, parametric) is possibile to simulate different scenario in which envelope parameters are the variables (for example U-values or g-factor).
In the Parametric tool introduction it talks about construction but I'm not them as a rules inside Elements.

thanks,
Daniele

Not directly. Just like in the regular VE you can't create a 'simple' construction by U value only. The best way to deal with this is to create however many constructions you need, and then iterate through them in the parametric analysis.
