packageAzimuth

List of possible constant values for surface azimuth

Extends from Modelica.Icons.TypesPackage (Icon for packages containing type definitions).

Information

Collection of constant values to define the azimuth of a surface. For example, if an exterior wall is South oriented, i.e., its outside-facing surface is towards South, use Buildings.Types.Azimuth.S.

See also Buildings.BoundaryConditions.UsersGuide for explanations of the azimuth.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Modelica.Units.SI.AngleS0Azimuth for an exterior wall whose outer surface faces south
Modelica.Units.SI.AngleSW+Modelica.Constants.pi/4Azimuth for an exterior wall whose outer surface faces south-west
Modelica.Units.SI.AngleW+Modelica.Constants.pi/2Azimuth for an exterior wall whose outer surface faces west
Modelica.Units.SI.AngleNW+Modelica.Constants.pi*3/4Azimuth for an exterior wall whose outer surface faces north-west
Modelica.Units.SI.AngleNModelica.Constants.piAzimuth for an exterior wall whose outer surface faces north
Modelica.Units.SI.AngleNE-Modelica.Constants.pi*3/4Azimuth for an exterior wall whose outer surface faces north-east
Modelica.Units.SI.AngleE-Modelica.Constants.pi/2Azimuth for an exterior wall whose outer surface faces east
Modelica.Units.SI.AngleSE-Modelica.Constants.pi/4Azimuth for an exterior wall whose outer surface faces south-east
