Hi all,

Are there any updates on this?
I had a similar belief that Radiace´s module eplus_adduvf.exe would overcome E+ shortcoming regarding concave zones and assign surface view factors, thus enabling the FullInteriorExteriorWithReflections solar distribution model.

As Chris points out, it´d be very helpful to find a workaround to this issue in order to run radiant thermal comfort analysis and, additionally, to link E+ surface temperatures with CFD simulations (for spaces like glazed courtyards and atriums).

So far I cannot think of anything else that subdividing the zones - if possible - or downgrading the solar distribution calculation, as has already been mentioned.

Thanks,
Rafael
