Known Issues in VE 2024
Posted: Thu Sep 26, 2024 1:50 pm
Colour Code: Current issues, Resolved issues
All lighting gains are in display lighting mode
Version: VE 2024 (2024.0.0.0)
Module: VE Compliance
Summary: All lighting gains are in display lighting mode
Detail: NCM Lighting gains get out of sync and Gain 1 becomes Display Lighting which is not editable.
Workaround: In Building Template Manager, for each thermal template set NCM Building Type to Not Set, select Save and OK. Reapply the NCM Building Types to each Thermal Template select Save and then OK.
Will be fixed in: VE 2025
BB101 Report for Criterion 1 should report & test hours not % hours
Version: VE 2024 (2024.0.0.0)
Module: VistaPro - BB101 report
Summary: Criterion 1 should report & test hours not % hours
Detail: VistaPro BB101 report Criterion 1 reports % hours as per TM 52 when it should report hours.
Workaround: No workaround. Manually post process results from VistaPro in Excel to determine if criteria has passed or failed.
Will be fixed in: VE 2024 Feature Pack 01 (2024.1.0.0)
Shading Scenarios not output to Parametric simulation results
Version: VE 2024 (2024.0.0.0)
Module: Parametric Simulation
Summary: Shading Scenarios defined for Parametric not output to results
Detail: When Shading Scenarios have been defined as Parameters for the Parametric simulation they show the same results on the Parallel Coordinate Plot
Workaround: Contact Technical Support Team for a fix
Fixed in: VE 2024 Hotfix 01 (2024.0.1.0)
SunCast doesn't recognise some small surfaces
Version: VE 2023 Feature Pack 4 Hotfix 1 (2023.4.1.0)
Module: SunCast/Apache simulation
Summary: SunCast doesn't recognise some small surfaces
Detail: When the model extents (footprint) is large then some small surfaces are not included in SunCast calculations (this can affect openings, shading surfaces or freestanding PV panels for example. Issue will show particularly in cases where a lot of surrounding geometry or landcsaping objects have been imported.
Workaround: Where possible remove surrounding geometry that is not required for the analysis to reduce the size of the overall model
Fixed in: VE 2024 Hotfix 02 (2024.0.2.0)
