One of them being the Virtual 3D photometric lab. When using the 3D irradiance sensor and producing a simulation, the results do not provide the average irradiance from the overall shape. Instead it gives a minimum and maximum value. I was wondering how I can get that average value.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/26-07-2023-1690408023-3Dirradiance.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>In addition, there are a lot of different ways to obtain a source that simulate the sky. I was wondering which of the ambient sources most accurately simulate the sky. In addition, is there a way to isolate just the sun using any of the ambient sources? Finally, when using ambient sources that request for location and time of day, is there a way to know where the sun is located or the direction of the sun.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance for helping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-295030","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["3643","36986"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.146"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["737"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["295030"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27816"],"_bbp_engagement":["3643","36986"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["296042"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["296042"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-08-02 07:41:09"]},"test":"blueskysolarracing"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/295030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/295030\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
