Dear Colleagues, good afternoon

I am now working on the parking project in EASE. While constructing the model, I found out that there are no cars that can be inserted as an object or material in the room. It is clear that RT and the result of mapping will be different in case the parking is empty or filled with cars.

Could you please advise, what are the possible ways to insert cars to the room so that the calculations are correct?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Roksoliana,

You can try using the following materials (within the folder Global Materials40\American Base\Manufacturers\Generic) previously computing the equivalent surface in each case:

"Generic, Steel" for surfaces equivalent to the car bodywork.
"Generic, Floor, Tiled, Linoleum, Asphalt, Vinyl" for surfaces equivalent to wheels
"Generic, Glass, Window, Double Pane" for surfaces equivalent to glass.

Obviously this will be of dubious accuracy, but one possible approximation

Regards,

Well, I started to design a model of a car to be imported directly into any EASE project (using the "Combine project" option). I will surely use it in the future, for now I hope it will serve you: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dDD-x7OodnGB450vi1FRxEM_-LRxusQ7?usp=sharing

Dear Agustin, good afternoon

Really thank you for the nswer and a model of a car. I turned it into the object and filled the parking with cars.

Thanks a lot!
