modelBeamDepthInRoom
Test model for the depth of the solar beam in the room
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).
Information
This example computes how far from the wall, measured perpendicular to the wall, hits the workplane. The figure below shows this length for January 1 in Chicago for windows with different orientations. The spike at sunset is a numerical artifact that has no physical significance.
