MicroStation Modeler V7.1 Solar Study? |
|
|
I asked this question on one of the Bently Groups, but no one responded
so I'll ask here and see what happens. I am trying to run a solar study, and
I want to have a parabolic dish point at the sun as each frame of the solar
study is generated. Does anyone know how to track the sun position during
the solar study and have an object in the model move with it kinda
automatically?
Unfortunately it has taken over a month and a half to get my user
license from Bently and my school project is due next Thursday. I have been
reading the user manual online, but if it is going to take more than a week
to get up to speed, then I don't have the time to waste with it. It has
already taken a week to build the model and while the hard part is now out
of the way, I still am only half way done. I don't know whether I should do
an animation, write a macro, solar study or what. If I have to do an
animation and set up each frame individually, then obviously I don't have
the time, but if I can write a quick and dirty macro to move a part while
the solar study is running, then my problems are over. I wouldn't think that
should be to hard to do if someone could point me in the right direction on
how to proceed or what part of the online documentation to read.
TIA

I suggest you try on the bentley.microstation. visualization group and on
http://docs.bentley.com/
And for visualization you are much better off with v8.
