How do you assess the affect of sun shading devices such as brie soliel? I have drawn some external shading ie the fins etc and wish to see the effect before and after applying the fins. I note that at the moment the fins do not seem to do anything to the loads. Am I missing the obvious?

Hi,

To see the effect of shading devices you would need to run Suncast first and tick this link in the settings dialog before the calculation is run.

Note: I would recommend any new user look at the training sessions we offer, I believe it would also benefit you as your experiences with other software may make it harder to adjust to using <VE>. http://www.iesve.com/TrainingUK/
