[Equest-users] How to Model Series of Louvres on Windows?

[Ömer Moltay]

Hi,

This means creating a building shade for each horizontal louvre, I 
guess? With 5 louvres on each window and 859 windows, this would mean 
4295 building shades. Is this possible in eQuest? Isn't this overkill 
and wouldn't it considerably slow the simulation run?

Thanks,

Omer Moltay

It helps to have some Revit experience as Vasari uses a push-pull method parametrically tied to dimension annotation. Once you create the geometry, run the Vasari energy analysis, disregard the results, and export results to .INP. Now you can extract the geometry under the building shade heading from the Vasari INP and paste into your Equest INP.
