- | ===== Selecting the Time Range ===== | ||
- | After the output folder has been selected and read, the **Time Range** of the simulation must be set using the Data File Map. You can select a single file using the left mouse button, a set of single files by pressing SHIFT and the left mouse button or select a continuous time range by defining the first and the last time slice to be simulated. For the latter operation, right click the Data File Map graphics and select the required command. | + | ===== Selecting the Time or Time Range |

In the example below, we have selected a time range starting at 10:00 and ending at 20:00 hours of the first day. These two times plus all available time steps in between will be calculated in the simulation. | In the example below, we have selected a time range starting at 10:00 and ending at 20:00 hours of the first day.

+ | ===== Selecting the Spatial Range ===== | ||
+ | Besides selecting the time frame for the BIO-met calculations, | ||
+ | As default setting, all grid points contained in the underlying ENVI-met model will be used to calculate the selected Thermal Comfort Index. | ||
+ | However, as some calculations such as PET* are quite time demanding it might to be a good idea to restrict the calculations to locations where they are required. The upper atmosphere layers, for example, are normally not interesting for human thermal comfort calculations. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | BIO-met offers three different modes of spatial range selection: | ||
+ | * Calculate for all points (default) | ||
+ | * Calculate for all points from 0 up to a given layer | ||
+ | * Calculate only points for a given layer | ||
+ | | ||
+ | For the last two options, the index (k-level) of the layer either to calculate up to or to calculate as single layer must be given. The corresponding coordinate in meters of the grid cell center is also given as information. | ||
+ | In the example below, all layers from 0 to 4 (=2.70 m height) will be calculated, including layer 4. | ||

+ | Please note, that all layers excluded from the BIO-met simulation will still be included in the generated output files. Hence, the spatial dimensions of the BIO-met output files are the same as the source ENVI-met model output, but model layers excluded from calculation will only hold "No Data" value data (-999, | ||
