To perform a heat flow analysis using this, it is possible to take into account the influence of solar radiation (heat generated in the wall due to solar radiation).   Note: It is particularly useful in carrying out the analysis of an indoor air conditioning or car air conditioning. See the attached file for an animation example of a solar radiation example in a car.  In particular, the procedure is as follows:  1.Specify the date, time and location (latitude and longitude) 2.Specify the amount of heat generated in the spot where sunlight is present a.Calculates the sunlight strength Ya for the specified conditions in 1. b.Effects of direct\/diffuse solar radiation blocked by walls, scattering etc can also be taken into account 3.Start the heat flow calculation  In addition, it is also possible to carry out a non-steady-state calculation.
