That will slow things down. Depending on
how much overlap there can be in the shadows cast by different surfaces, it can
be a real problem. I’d suggest simplifying the geometry by aggregating into
larger surfaces and giving them some transparency.

shading objects and runtime
How much impact do adiabatic shading objects have on
the run time of a simulation. I am looking at potentially having in upwards of
1,000 shading devices for a model that has simple geometry but extremely
detailed external shading. Any views on this before I get too far along here?
Thanks in advance
