Frads five-phase simulation

[h25os]

Hello,

I am trying to simulate Frads's test five for a five-phase simulation.
But I get this error:

frads.matrix - INFO - Running rcontrib with:
rcontrib -ab 1 -dj 0.0 -st 0 -n 16 -fo+ -I+ -faf -y 288 -o Matrices\pcdsmx_five_phase_revise_floor.mtx -M C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpkisa3d89\modifier sun_VO0.oct
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['rcontrib', '-ab', '1', '-dj', '0.0', '-st', '0', '-n', '16', '-fo+', '-I+', '-faf', '-y', '288', '-o', 'Matrices\pcdsmx_five_phase_revise_floor.mtx', '-M', 'C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpkisa3d89\modifier', 'sun_VO0.oct']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Can you please help me how I can fix it.

Thanks for posting!
Can you run mrad -vv run five_phase.cfg and paste here the output?

Ok thanks for testing.
I still scratching my head trying to reproduce this error. I can't think of anything else other than maybe 1) restart your computer 2)update the OS.
I guess if 0.2.7 works on your machine, then maybe you can use that?

Actually, because I need this new feature of frads 0.3.0 I will try to use another PC. Thanks for all your guidance.

If the issue persists, it be great if you can raise a "bug report" issue.

[h25os]

yes, thanks. Also, in the documentation it has been mentioned that a specific month and day can be defined for simulation by defining "month = " and " day = " in the "site" section. Actually, the results do not change when I use these parameters and I still get annual results. Could you please help me with how I can use these parameters?

I don't think mrad config file can filter to month and day. Where did you find this info?
The only way to achieve that is to manually setup your .wea/.epw file.
I should mention that it's usually better to get results for an entire year and post-process the result later because the last step of obtaining annual results by matrix multiplication is so efficient that one hours vs 8000 days makes little differences in terms of overall runtime.
