1/2 hour data in .WAC weather format - further questions

CR · Post by CR » Fri Jan 18, 2013 5:12 am -1100

I am using the .wac weather file to model lab experiments in WUFI Pro 5.1 I would like it if the date/time columns were respected, but I understand they are not. So that is an enhancement request.
It would make the output date/time stamps easier to correlate to the lab time.

However, it appears to be hard-coded to assume each line in the .wac file is for 1 hour of data. I want to use 1/2 hour or less. I can modify the header of the .wac file to indicate 0.5 hr time step, and the WUFI Pro control section to reflect the 0.5 timestep.

Is this having any effect on the WUFI calculations?

Since WUFI date/time output continues to reflect 1 hour steps, I am assuming that my entries have no effect. Is that right?

Thanks

Hello CR,

well...the definition of a WAC file if to be hourly steps and starting at Jan, 1st, so no time/date is needed except to visualize at which time in the year you are.

Please use the .KLI export of the installed Excel spread sheet for your requirement.

Greetings,
