SIMVRK's profile - activity

I discarded the option of modeling a diffuser with curvatures. In the following figures are shown the diffusers i was trying to model:

In real life the hole in the ceiling of the room is circular, but for simulations I decided to switch it for a square hole with same area, as shown in the following figure:

Finally I modeled a simple square diffuser with a planar surface constructed with "Partition Interior Surface Group" and I could assign parameters of absorptance and reflectance, as shown in the following figure:

Thanks for the suggestions and help.

An existing Office in the Institute where I study has a hole in the roof. I am modeling this space with OpenStudio to evaluate the natural illumination and the proposal of a Diffuser to favor natural lighting in a specific zone.

I want to model two different diffusers (Ring diffuser and curved diffuser).

A post on the forum indicates that SketchUp does not accept curved diffusers https://unmethours.com/question/8328/.... But when I want to insert a form or an object, Sketch Up does recognize it if it is group or block.

So my questions are: 1. Is correct to model the circular hole with a circular windows? 2. Is correct to model the two types of Diffuser using “shading surface”? Or it should be modeled as an “Interior Partition Surface Group” component, considering that I need to control the absorptance, reflectance and transmittance?

Then, as I understand, any option you choose in Sub Surface Type between "Skylight, TubularDaylightDome or TubularDaylightDiffuser" will not change anything in the simulation results?
