1.1.1 Set an envimet model
The first operation to do is the model settings. You have to declare where envimet must save the files, what material database to use and how the "white board" must be.
You can think of the envimet grid like a white board where to place the entities.
The workspace is the folder that envimet software uses for write/reading different file format, from INX to EDT. User must be declared where envimet have to save them. Every component has a nice inner description that users can check to understand better how it works. I report here only the main info.
The hierarchy is Workspace > Project > Model
. You can have a single project with multiple models. This is also the reason why using Grasshopper and Morpho you can generate automatically tons of scenario with the same project for example to create a dataset of models.
- _workspace_folder: The main folder where to save projects
- project_name: Name of the project to work with
- model_name: Name of the model or scenario related to a project
- userDB: By default Morpho uses project DB but you can decide to switch to user DB by setting the input to True
- envimetFolder_: If you have installed envimet in a different PC unit (e.g.
D:
) you must point Morpho to the envimet software because by default it usesMAIN_USER_UNIT/ENVImetAAA
Envimet must know where your model is. The location can be defined by latitude, longitude, name. You can use any tool to get this generic info.
The main input that are crucial for envimet are:
- _latitude: latitude of your location in decimals
- _longitude: longitude of your location in decimals
- longitude_reference: It is an important numeric value to apply the right time zone. E.g. Italy has 15.00. Use Google to get the right value for your location. By default it applies 15.0 to every model.
