Batch Simulation > Warning: The shading table has not been computed

[mikereed]

I'm trying to run batch simulations for N-S single axis trackers with a tilt of zero. All I want to do is vary the pitch. In the Parameter Specification, 3D shadings parameter I select Pitch E-W between trackers and backtracking activated. I did notice that the parameter word "Backtraked" had been misspelled in the output file.

I get the message: Warning: The shading table has not been computed in the results

I ran this in batch mode with just one data point for the pitch:

Thanks for your time,

This error message "The shading table has not been computed" appears here by mistake.

In fact the shading table is correctly computed at the beginning of the simulation, which arises after this check. This should be corrected in the next versions.

I had the same error "Warning: The shading table has not been computed" in Version 6.68 too.

Though it says, the shading table has not been computed, it actually did.

You can verify this by checking the option "produce a pdf report" and verify the loss calculation on the detailed loss section, where it actually accounts for shading.

Did this bug ever get fixed? Im still getting this error in v7.1

Same here, at version 7.2 and the error message is still going strong.

Indeed this fix has been (long) forgotten, thank you for the reminder. It should be implemented in version 7.2.10.
