gen matrix surface-sky


gen matrix surface-sky [-h] [-v] <surface_file> <model files...> [options]
gen matrix surface-sky generates a matrix that describes the flux-transport behavior between the surface and the sky. This matrix is usually the daylight matrix in a three-phase simulation. This command takes in a surface object file as the first positional arguments, followed by the rest of the model files.

Options

-b/--basis
Sky basis, can be r1, r2, r4, r6
-f/--offset
Offset the surface in its normal direction (default: 0)

All rtrace options are recognized as well.

Example

Generate a surface to sky matrix (e.g., daylight matrix), with a specific set of rcontrib options.
