Hi all ,
I'm simulating one of our products ( a digital display screen ) in various external locations and orientations.
I'm particularly interested in the effects of solar radiation.
I'm struggling to find a way of measuring ( with a goal/surface/etc ) the actual solar radiation hitting our product , I need to measure both the direct normal i.e. the amount of radiation arriving from the sun as well as the values on vertical / horizontal structures.
I've got calculated values but I need to cross check these with the CFD values.
Has anyone done this and can point me in the correct direction ?
Thank in advance
Peter
I am keen to figure this out as well and not just for solar radiation but also for other specified inputs like thermal energy in a volume to name just one - to confirm you are hitting what you are aiming at. I have suspicions that what you ask for is not always what you get depending on mesh and other issues. Maybe its an enhancement request.
