NetCDF output files are produced for every hour but hold all data within a single file (no different files are created for atmosphere, buildings, surface, vegetation etc.). Building data needed to be splitted into fields holding either X, Y, or Z data. If simulation crashes during file writing when NetCDF outputs are activated, most likely there is a Microsoft Component missing: Please install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (found here: https:// | ||
