modelProjectedShadowLength

Test model for projected shadow length

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Information

This example computes how far a shadow of a 2 meter high object is in different directions. The figure below shows this length for January 1 in Chicago. Note that the length of the shadow is negative if the azimuth is selected to be south because the shadow is towards the north.
