FShdBm and Iso-Shadings Diagram

[johank]

Hi,

Just wanted to confirm if the "FShdBm" parameter in hourly output files should correspond to what's displayed in the Iso-Shadings diagram ("Beam shading factor (according to strings)")?

Specifically, wasn't sure if FShdBm also captures the "according to strings" loss but may not be thinking about that right.

Thanks!

It does not include the electrical loss according to strings, as this is an electrical loss, not a light loss, and dependent on partition definition, electrical effect %, etc.

Thanks for the reply! Much appreciated.

I assume the loss %s shown in the Iso-shadings diagram are calculated from the "according to strings" shading factors/table derated by the electrical effect %. Will have to try to confirm this at some point.
