dragonfly-radiance translate model-to-rad [OPTIONS] MODEL_FILE

Options

--multiplier, -fg, --full-geometry

Flag to note if the multipliers on each Building story will be passed along to the generated Honeybee Room objects or if full geometry objects should be written for each story in the building.

Default

True

--no-plenum, -p, --plenum

Flag to indicate whether ceiling/floor plenums should be auto-generated for the Rooms.

Default

True

--no-ceil-adjacency, -a, --ceil-adjacency

Flag to indicate whether adjacencies should be solved between interior stories when Room2Ds perfectly match one another in their floor plate. This ensures that Surface boundary conditions are used instead of Adiabatic ones. Note that this input has no effect when the object-per-model is Story.

Default

True

--blk <blk>

Boolean to note whether the “blacked out” version of the geometry should be output, which is useful for direct studies and isolation studies of individual apertures.

Default

False

--minimal, --maximal

Flag to note whether the radiance strings should be written in a minimal format (with spaces instead of line breaks).

Default

False

-f, --output-file <output_file>

Optional Rad file to output the Rad string of the translation. By default this will be printed out to stdout

Default

-
