[BLDG-SIM] Energy simulation of a round-shape building



Yi,
 
You might want to look at DOE2.2 (equest). You can now create polygons with 128 points which allows you to closely model a circle.  The program also has a Sunspace feature that makes it easier to model atrium spaces.  The program is free at doe2.com.
 
I am not aware of a program that lets you model a circular space without using flat sections.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] Energy simulation of a round-shape building

I am now working on a project to simulate the energy consumption of a round-shape atrium. Does anyone know if there are any simulation tools that can define such a shape? If no such tools, I guess that I have to approximate the surface with flat segments.
 
Thanks
