daylight simulation by radiance through phase reuse(View-matrix)

Hello everyone,

When dynamic daylight simulation is performed through phase reuse ( view-matrix), a piece of glass is divided into five pieces and the simulation is repeated using the V matrix. Is the room.rad/room.oct file the same when reuse v-matrix?

Why is the size of the hole of a wall equal to the size of the overall window instead of a single piece of glass when the V matrix is reused?

The light from the window to the designated points in the room has been reflected many times, such as "-ab 1024". When the simulation is performed separately, the place where there is glass is now gone, will not affect the accuracy of the results?

daylight simulation by radiance through phase reuse(View-matrix)

Hello everyone,

When My window has two pieces of glass. There are different xml file between them. I want to repeated using V matrix for each glass to perform dynamic daylight simulation is performed through phase reuse ( view-matrix), a piece of glass is divided into five pieces and the simulation is repeated using the V matrix. Is the room.rad/room.oct file the same when reuse v-matrix?

Why simulation, then images are added or illuminance values are added. But for each v matrix,link text, in page 105, why is the size of the hole of a wall equal to the size of the overall window instead of a single piece of glass in room.rad file when the V matrix is reused?

The light from the window to the designated points in the room has been reflected many times, such as "-ab 1024". When the simulation is performed separately, the place where there is glass is now gone, will not affect the accuracy of the results?

V matrix for illuminance I use -ab 10 , but for images I use -ab 4 .When I use -ab 10 for images it takes a long time to run. What other parameters do I need to set for V matrix and D matrix?

Thank you very much.
