Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] curved blinds

It would not be exact, but you could use the "slat thickness" to model 
the curvature of the blind slat. In this case the slat thickness could 
be found by laying the slat on a flat surface and measure the distance 
from the slat midpoint to the flat surface. Refer to the 
InputOutputReference document for a complete discussion of 
Material:WindowBlind.
