No visualization #245

Open yoanngoma opened 7 years ago

yoanngoma commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to run butterfly on the outdoor file you provide, but for some reason once I get to the solution part I cannot visualize any solutions. The results seems to converge and the virtual docker seems to work fine, but once I run the solution it just doesn't show anything.

I am quite new to grasshopper so that might have something to do with it, but I didn't really change any of the parameters, so I thought I would be able to properly visualize the air flow as well as the residual evolution. If by any chanche you happen to have any imput on this it would be great.

@yoanngoma can you provide us a screenshot and connect some panels to the outputs?

Also did you watch the YouTube videos?

yoanngoma commented 7 years ago

@mostaphaRoudsari I haven't seen the videos yet, didn't even know there were any. I will watch them and then let you know if I still have questions. Thank you anyway

mostaphaRoudsari commented 7 years ago

Good point! I added the videos on top of the wiki pages. I close this for now. Feel free to re-open or create a new issue if you couldn't solve the problem.

Hi @mostaphaRoudsari,

So I watched your video, but it didn't really solve my problem. Here are the differences I could tell between when you ran it and whe I do.

1) First of all, I am studying 29 buildings (colored in the first picture). I imagine that's one of the reasons it makes the process slower when running snappymesh on the docker. Either way, as you can see, my buildings don't really have the same mesh density as yours (although I believe that's just a problem with my programm's visualization).

1 2

2) The points for the probes didn't appear for me (again, I just think it is a problem of simple visualization). 3

3) Finally, and most importantly, when I run the solution, not only it didn't show up on my Rhino visual, but it went much faster thatn it did for your video, when for the snappymesh it was much slower in my computer. Here is an error given when I tried to see the residual values:

Please let me know if you weren't able to see the images and thank you very much for your help.

Hey, i am also not able to see a live visualization on my simulation

AmyKoshy commented 7 years ago

oh i just realized there is an error

mostaphaRoudsari commented 7 years ago

@AmyKoshy open a new issue for your problem. Your problem doesn't seem to be the same.

mostaphaRoudsari commented 7 years ago

Any updates on this issue? Should we close it?

AmyKoshy commented 7 years ago

thank you ! i wont be able to check it for while, please close. much appreciated!
